more happy sheepless yarn pr0n

Last fall at Rhinebeck, I got to meet Mama E. She was one of those people you want to knit with right away, but we never got the chance. You know how Rhinebeck is -- meet, hug, shop, meet up again, more hugging, more shopping. And then it's over.

Anyway, one of the offshoots of our meeting came in my mailbox yesterday. Wanna see?


Your eyes are not deceiving you. That's another coolio colorway done just for me! It's called "Sheepless in Toronto" [snort!] Lest you think I take this generosity for granted, be assured I know how lucky I am. :-)

This is a gorgeous 98.3% cotton/1.7% lycra yarn, hand dyed by Mama E herself in soft springy green, periwinkle and muted indigo. Perfect for socks, of course. But what will I knit from it? Another beret, I think! It's already wound and ready for my kamikaze trip to see J and her kids tomorrow. I love the pink one and I'd love to have another for my less-pink days.

Mama E also included this cool thing:

A big project bag [the size of a large hardcover book!] covered in the coolest Mod Squad fabric. You can find the bags here, and the yarn here -- plus another colorway, too.

Thank you so much to Mama E, and here's hoping we get to knit together soon!
