Before I left for the Fiber show, I had ordered yarn. I know. Silly but I had to have it. I missed a certain yarn the last time at Woolgirl so I just had to get it when I saw it there again. Isn’t this packaging cool?

Boogie Baby was all interested in it. She watched as I undid each package and laid out the yarn. The second they were all there, the thief in her came out.

Anyone that has spent some downtime with the lady knows how nuts she is for yarn and fiber. She’s very interested in what you have for yarns and fibers and she has to touch all of it. So when there was new stuff, she took off with it. I got it back when she took a nap so I could take a picture of the yarn that made me place the order:

Kitty’s Eyes by Joni of Union Center Knits. I loved this colorway in the online photo but once I got it, I could really see the little bit of peachy color (kitty nose!) and I love it more. I want to cast on but I have more commissions to do.. I’m trying to be good because the deadline on these is really short… I will be good and NOT cast on kitty socks….. I will be good….. I willlllllll…..I can do it.

I couldn’t live with just that little bit of yarn. I had to have more. More Union Center that is.

You don’t need to remind me that I make yarns for a living. I just couldn’t help myself. You know, that feeling that you cannot possibly control your fingers. Your fingers start slamming away at the keyboard and 3-4 days later you mystically have yarn on your doorstep. It’s like I go into a trance. Pretty pretty and I have to have it.

I also have more yarn that I didn’t buy. This is yarn for one of those commission projects. I was so thrilled when I opened the box yesterday. It’s actually a good color!!!! For once they didn’t send me brown or blue! This is cause for great excitement.

That’s right, it’s diaper green, I love it! Let’s hope this makes it speedy knitting.
