Secret Pal... the Reveal

Check it out...

As it turns out, my secret pal hand dyes and spins yarns. She is obviously very talented! Now the pressure is on for me create something worthy of all this unique yarn.



After a long and stressful day, a package on the porch was just what I needed. It was a slightly heavy box, ooooh, even more exciting. Five skeins of handspun/dyed yarn, two Cat Bordhi books, a couple of lace cowl patterns, and candy candy candy! This was my first time participating in a secret pal exchange. It has been wonderful, & I look forward to the next round.

My three favorite skeins are pictured individually below. Debra, please feel free to share more accurate descriptions, and fiber contents of each of them here. One of the non pictured skeins is spun very tightly, resulting in a springy corkscrew, I am very curious about this one, what to do with this type of yarn. I am anxious to knit with it.



This one has "locks" of bright green, one of my favorites.


This one reminds me of colorful cocoons, like mini cones of cotton candy.


This one has puffs of hot shiny pink randomly spun into it.

Rosco checks the box to make sure that I didn't forget anything. He is so darn helpful.


The End

Rosco's end that is.


Stay tuned in...Tomorrow I will share photos of what I have been working on the last few days, my first knitting in almost a month. Also... New yarn porn.
