My husband loves me!

Every once in a while a package shows up at the door and I don't know what it is. Then Dale hands it to me and says it's for you it's a present. He spoils me to death!
This came in the mail today. It is a cat proof yarn bowl! The pictures do not do the color justice. It is a beautiful light teal. He got it off Etsy from OC Pottery. Check out his shop on Etsy his stuff is amazing!

Lancaster Yarn Shop and one down one to go!

Dale and I just got back from a lovely camping trip in Pennsylvania. No road trip is complete without finding a LYS and I found a lovely one in Intercourse, PA.


I try to support local yarn companies when I am visiting out of town areas. I saw these yarns and just fell in love. And much to my surprise they were locally dyed yarns only available at her shop or from the artists website.
The are 75% SW Merino, 20% Nylon, 5% Stellina. I love the sparkle in them. It reminds me a lot of the Starry by Dream in Color. Not sure yet the plan for it, but it will probably be used together since they look so lovely together.
And now for a brief update. The first Circle Sock is finished with the exception of the seam on the toe. These were such a fun and fast knit I don't think I will get second-sock-itous.
Love them right?!?!
Back to the goodies! I also picked up this yummy squishyness! I got the yarn and the pattern for the Entrelac Hat. They had one of these made up in the shop and it was sooooo cute. It has been a while since I did some Entrelac, high time I do some as I loooove it!
