Claudia hand painted yarns.

Remember this?
Well this the most soft yarn ever-( except from 100% Angora) this Large Loop Boucle, in deep blue from Claudia hand painted yarns. Wondering what to do with it I decieded to just knit it in garter stiches-knit,knit,knit... until the yarn ended and.....
I ended up with this yummy thick scarf/Stole thing.
it is thick and chunky, and is warming my neck right now.
Good for very cold days and today I feel cold & filled with thoughts. look at me! I am staring holes in the air.... come on Beate. get those needles going.

Been working on putting numbers together -adding , substracting and I am no ready to begin this Lace Ribbon scarf form Knitty spring-08.
The yarn is from Valley yarns , Stockbridge- a mix of alpaca and wool- color is red purple.
Will begin this today, before the kids get home from school - then there is no time at all to knit until they hit the bed. So I better hurry up and get this skein on the needles.

Did what every mom usually do at least once or twice a week- groceryshopping!
At my supermarket the cary the brand, Stonewall Kitchen.
A brand that creates special foods. I love their products.
Today I purchased some marinades/ dipping / salad sauce and two jams . one with strawberry, apple, rhubarb and one called holiday jam..which will be exciting to taste.
just one of the little pleasures on a ordinary boring tuesday-
