Knit Sisters

in the mail today.  Ten skeins of Knit One, Crochet Too’s Douceur Swirls.  75% kid mohair, 25% silk.  225 yds. per skein.

(Note how cleverly I put that–as though I didn’t even know it was on its way!  Why yes, I get unexpected boxes full of beautiful yarn in the mail all the time.  Don’t you?)

Naturally, it helps if you can stand around looking beautiful against the backdrop of a stately English manor.

I’m working on that one.  Give it time, give it time.
