The Bounty and the Booty







I won this...
It's a skein of Rabbitch's amazing hand-dyed sock yarn and I won it from the equally amazing Hot Rod Libby Loo.
and this....
It's 2 skeins of Lorna's Laces in the lovely Jeans colorway and I won it from Craft Lilly

and bought this...
It's a tissue holder and I got from JooSweetie's Etsy store.

My mom's visit went really well. I brought her home from the airport and made her look through all my knitting books to pick out some stuff she liked. Then Saturday, I took her on a yarn crawl.


First we went to String, where she bought this stuff

These two will be mixed in the edging and then the plain grey on the right for the rest of the body of a vest.

6 skeins of this Kashmir for me!

At A Knitted Peace, she got this...
Berroco Tapestry - 11 of the blue for a thing for her and one silver/grey for a scarf I'm planning for me.

And at Colorful Yarns, she got this...
2 giant skeins for the little lacy shrug in the Lace Style book.
And 2 skeins of Interlacements Tiny Toes for me.
And this from Yarn Arts...
For a project to be named later.


Then there's the swaps!

I got this lovely pumpkin Alpaca from an orange yarn swap. Not normally a fan of orange, but this stuff's beautiful!
And I got this stuff in a wish list swap...
Still drooling, Ruth!

I just LOVE the tissue holder. You think Santa would leave one in my stocking? Maybe he'll leave one in my daughter's stocking, then she wouldn't have to use her sleeve (eewwww)!
