Spinnin' Yarns

It is so freakin cold here, I have got to finish these soon. BRR! Arctic blast, go home!

Where's the W in global warming? Oh yeah, the dubya probably did away with our share of it. Perhaps he sent it to Iraq? Idiot.

I had made my sis some for xmas and they were so pretty I wanted some--and so with the Michaels gift card my cousin got me (thanks cous!) I got two skeins with the nice neutral silver punctuated with dark purple. I know she'd approve, she was always a purple girl too. I have 2 balls of touch me to knit a hat with, and I want to get on to that. Dang it's cold!

Here's how much snow we got. Not much, but the streets are ice rinks, esp further east than we are. We are close to the Sound, so it doesn't get as cold here or quite as much snow...

Oh, and finally (but not least!) here is a pic of the skein of sea silk in colorway "capri" my sis got me for xmas, and the pattern. YUMM!!! I wish I could put scent-a-matic into your computers so you could smell the yummy sea smell and touch-a-matic so you could ingest the unbelievable softness...

My other yarn related gifts were At Knit's End, which my darling son got me. Can you call him darling if he's technically 6 inches taller than you (and growing?) And then my dad gave me some money which I spent on knitting and crochet books and SILK AND CASHMERE. It is unbelievable. No pics yet but I'll get one soon.
