Vortex of Chaos: What I bought

What I bought

This is what I bought when I had to reset the "not buying yarn counter":

Wollmeise: Top, Raku Regenbogen
Bottom, Arlene

I have wanted Raku Regenbogen ever since Claudia invented it, but for some reason it has been hard to find. And Arlene is named after the person I test-knitted for this spring, so of course I had to have it. Sadly my photo does not capture the real colors. It is brown and purple, not blue.

This came in today's mail, the result of a happy trade:

Bugga! in Buffalo Treehopper (left) and Goldenrod Crab Spider

I really like getting yarn in the mail; but getting it less often makes it more special somehow :)

Upcoming activities:

Thursday: picking up mom in Pocatello for a visit over Labor Day weekend.

Friday: taking mom to her uncle's funeral in central Utah--he was 90.

Saturday: making cinnamon rolls, one of mom's specialties.

Sunday: Wee I's blessing at church (like a christening).

Monday: taking a day off to relax.

Tuesday: taking mom back to Pocatello, where Robin will meet her and take her home.

Wish us luck.

Lovely yarn!

I posted my three skeins from Enchanted Knolls. I am still waiting on a yellow skein from a dyer in Alaska.; 10:26 AM

Have a good weekend, and in spite of the less then positives, make Monday count in the R-E-L-A-X mode.
