Birthday Wrap-Up, Part 2
I was planning to blog about the rest of my birthday presents (first post here) last week, but I’m participating in a few writing contests and the time just got away from me.
Without further ado, the rest of my yarny presents!
My mother-in-law isn’t a knitter, but she is a painter. To my delight, she decided a few years ago that choosing from all the scrumptious Madelinetosh colors was her idea of a seriously good time. Remember Blue Betty and Chandail? Yep, the yarn for both of those sweaters came straight from her.
I think she outdid herself this year.
That’s five (count em! Five!) skeins of Tosh Merino Light in Worn Denim. Is that gorgeous or what? I love blues and greens, so this is pretty much nirvana in skein form.
Just looking at the pictures is making me drool. I’m thinking a sweater with lace details for this.
And just when I thought no one could top the presents from both of my fantastic mothers, my husband gives me this:
That’s a skein of yarn he hand-dyed in my favorite color, just for me. The picture doesn’t do it justice–it’s a stunning tonal green, with perfect darker and lighter bits interspersed throughout. I’m thinking a hat for this, but I’ll have to choose carefully, because I’m not about to waste this amazing skein.
I am seriously the luckiest person ever.
Happy Belated Birthday! Love love LOVE the Tosh yarn!
what thoughtful gifts from those three!
i’m sure they’re anxious to see what you should decide to make with them?
