Goodies
Well no actual knitting to show as I've been working on non-bloggable projects. In the meantime...
Check out what I won! A Stitch 'n Bitch calendar courtesy of the very generous Veronica of A Year in Stitches. She's doing a Freebie Friday on her blog and you can get free stuff- what's not to love? Also check out her awesome Yarn Clockwork Orange Girl stuff, great yarn art.
Also pictured is my recent find from pureknits - Kaalund Classic Two in Brushfire. I had been searching high and low for a fire like colorway in a laceweight that had only slight tonal variation. A red to yellow would produce too strong of a stripping affect for what I have in mind. I have to say Yahaira's beautiful packaging made me reluctant to even open it, feels like such a treat ordering from there.

Pureknits is a great place to buy yarn from. Yahaira has great service.

Lovely yarn! What do you plan on knitting with it if I may ask? Free stuff is pretty sweet too.

I really like that colorway - varigated but not really.....I'll have to check out her blog and see what's up for tomorrow's Friday Freebie

Hi Jennifer,
Thats a cool gift!!! I have entered for the Friday Drawing too !!

The yarn is intended for a new design I'm working on for an eyelet lace scarf. Can't wait to get swatching!
The Scarlet Tank IS done, however time and lighting conditions have not been in my favor for a photo shoot. Hope to remedy that this weekend though.
