More Yarn Arrived

Here is the latest shipment of yarn. It arrived a couple of days ago. This came from yarn.com. I LOVE their clearance section. There seems to always be such a variety. This is silk or silk blend. Thinking of making scarves or cowls. I have to have something very soft against my neck; otherwise it doesn't get worn. Anything with the slightest bit of "itch" to it drives me crazy.



Speaking of cowls, I ran across this pattern and fell in love. I made this one, and I love how it turned out. The only drawback is that it has a itch factor to it. This one will probably go to a good home who is not as sensitive as I am. It is made from yarn from knitpicks.com and has some wool. It seemed soft to the touch of the hand when it arrived......



I have started a sleeveless shell from silk yarn that you saw a post or so ago. Actually, I have the back complete and just began working on the front a few evenings ago. Hopefully, I will feel like working on it more in a couple of days.

Tomorrow morning is the surgery on my left foot. I'll be happy to get it behind me so I can be "on the mend." The thing I dread most is not being able to get it wet. I LOVE a hot bath and wrapping/taping one's foot in a plastic garbage bag and hanging outside the tub is not real relaxing. Oh, well, that is just for the first week. I WILL survive that aspect even if I don't like it! ;-)

Sis will serve as animal feeder/caretaker since DH is on a walker due to his neuropathy. She is on the property next to us, so at least it is convenient for her.

I hope to be checking back in with you in a couple of days. Of course, no sewing for a while. What a bummer!

Happy New Year to all of you. I will welcome 2010 with ice and pain pills!
