Yarn type

What kind of yarn are you?

You are Shetland Wool. You are a traditional sort who can sometimes be a little on the harsh side. Though you look delicate you are tough as nails and prone to intricacies. Despite your acerbic ways you are widely respected and even revered.

Amusing.

I'm deadly sick. Ugh. And I have a paper to write. Augh! But I took advantage of my sickness over the weekend to just work away at Arwen. I actually got a lot done (finished the back and am more than half done with the left front!) but alas, no pictures. Maybe next time!

By the way, the color of my STR is Cobalt Bloom and it's a mixture of greyish purple, tan, fuschia, pink, and rust. No clue what to knit with it yet, but right now I'm rather content just petting the beautiful skein!

Excitement!!

Blog and ye shall receive!

I was feeling REALLY sick today and pretty much slept until 5 (waking up only at 1 to take some cold medicine). I went down to the dining hall, ate, and then went to check my mail. I got two packages today:


Socks that Rock from Cara! And a really pretty card with yarn on it. The yarn is absolutely gorgeous. It looks SO amazingly beautiful. I love it. I want to hug it.


I won this in some contest Cara had a few weeks ago, her STR virgin contest. I wrote a stirring poem and Cara gifted me with this beautiful beautiful skein. I'm so in love.

I also got another package, this one from elann.com, and inside it was this:


13 skeins of Peruvian Highland Wool in Victorian Violet for my Cardigan for Arwen! AUGH. I'm going to go swatch.
