I've got mail: Day 1



While I was away attending Mystery Wedding last weekend, a package arrived for me. My copilot went down to check the mail the evening we returned home, with parting words from me, "Why bother? We never get anything good anyway." Next time I'm going to try, "Why bother? Daniel Craig is never down there waiting to make out with me."

My blog swap partner is the lovely Sara of North Carolina. You can check out her exploits at Wool Durham. Lovely stuff!

I kind of wanted to open everything.


But I resisted, and obediently followed the numbering on the items. Item #1 contained sheer awesomeness:


OK, so I've heard a lot about this stuff. It seems like people wet their pants and/or will exchange their firstborns over Malabrigo yarn, so I'm pumped to see for myself what the fuss is about! It is quite soft....

  6. LOL I love the Daniel Craig comment. I love Malabrigo its so freaking soft I can't wait to see what you decide to make. I suggest something like a cowl of something since its so soft it feels good close to your skin.
