*This post was meant for yesterday.*
Craftsy has a mystery box sale on the last day of each month. They are beautiful! I love a good mystery, I love mail, and love yarn. It's everything awesome packed up into box!
I am not the best photographer, I thought by titling the camera (read; iphone) it would make the picture better, hah. |
Here is December's mystery box. It was a special year end one, so four $50 you got $100 worth. The mint colored one is Lorna's Laces, and I don't love the color, but it's still a very nice yarn. The burnt orange I am deeply in love with. It's Cascade Yarns Epiphany. They had more on sale which I ordered yesterday. I am saving it to make myself a sweater some day when my skills have improved, and are worthy of the yarn. The needles are Lantern Mood circulars which I am sure will get plenty of use.
I ordered yesterday's box as well and am very excited for it's arrival! Waiting not so patiently.
To end here is a photo of the rest of my "collection" yarn. There are three colorways of Noro Taiyo, that my Aunt sent me. The pink is Party Pink Malabrigo Silky Merino, that I bought in Regina, and wish I had bought more as I can't find it anywhere online, and there isn't much I can do with that little bit. On the same Regina trip I bought that ball of Schoppel Wolle Ambiente. They had a sample knit up into a hat and I loved the way it patterned. I should have bought more of that also.
A good thing that happened recently was that we bought kitchen lights! We have been in our house for a while now, and the kitchen has been fairly dark, just using the pot lights between the kitchen and living room. Now to get them installed!
