This is what crappy yarn looks like. |
Then Patty posted this.
I was immediately smitten. The pattern is perfect -- free, looks interesting, but is still easy enough for me to have a chance at finishing. And I couldn't stop thinking about that beautiful blood orange color. I went to Webs, looked at other yarn, other colors, and finally just placed my order. They must have known I was once again anxious (some might say impatient) to get started because they shipped it right away and it arrived on Friday.
Webs also sent me a wine voucher?! |
The color is even better in person and I cast on immediately. I don't know how much progress I'll make on the blanket during the heat of the summer, but I do know it's a pleasure to knit with yarn that isn't frustrating in a color that I can't stop admiring. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ...
I love that blanket and great color choice!! And, wait - WEBS is sending wine vouchers? Perhaps I need to place an order!
ReplyDeleteWEBS is great about getting orders out quickly but now they are sending wine vouchers, too? I may have to place an order!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! I'm honored! And that color huh?!? Wish I could sit next to you and knit another one!
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice and your knitting (and yarn) look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the new pattern, yarn AND color! knitting should always make us smile, right? (and yeah, what Carole said - if WEBS is shipping wine vouchers, I might have to "lose" my LYS loyalty for an order ;-)
