Thank you Josiekitten



Josiekitten started the year with a blog giveaway and I was one of the lucky two drawn for a prize. I didn't mind which yarn I received so it was a nice surprise both to find some chocolate in the box and also three balls of Louisa Harding Kimono Angora. I had suggested that if I didn't win any yarn JK might send me one of her gorgeous cats. Seems she wasn't up for that but the yarn is as soft and silky as a kittens ears. Do you want a closer look at this cuddly collection. It will make a beautiful scarf, I am thinking something light and lacy, can't wait to get started but as you know I am soldiering on with the jumper of barbed wire. It seems to get harsher and harsher or has fondling this delicious new yarn altered my perception. I have however started (and finished) the chocolate which was most satisfactory.

  1. I'm glad you like the yarn Jenny! It is kitten-soft, as you say. I'm looking forward to seeing what you knit with it! I can imagine the contrast between that and the barbed wire jumper!!!! Keep soldiering on!

  5. Beautiful yarn, even nicer that you won it instead of spending out for it. And talking of spending, is it possible to have developed a sock yarn fetish before I've even managed to complete my first pair of socks!!?? I keep drooling over all the delicious yarns in this store, perhaps that's why my first pair is taking so long to knit!!

    Hugs

  6. I think Mr FF might need those chocolates, to take his mind off the barbed wire.
