Could This Be a Trend?

Saturday was the second good mail day in a row!


This is a skein of Berry Colorful Yarnings Saturated Sock in the happy-making colorway called Happy Life. It's hard to find because sadly Berry Colorful Yarns has discontinued dyeing.


I had knit Ryan some fingerless mitts out of one skein I bought at The Loopy Ewe, and while I was knitting recently, an idea for another skein (possibly a two-color Hitchhiker) popped into my head. A search on Ravelry revealed a nice knitter who was willing to part with hers, and now it's mine!


The stripe colors remind me of the Obama Hope poster, so that's part of why this skein makes me happy. I don't think I'll be casting on in the near future, but for now a second good mail day and a second skein of Happy Life are enough to make me happy.

I hope your week is off to a happy, hopeful start!
