Ruby River here I come


P2170005.JPGWell, I did it.  I went to the yarn store and I spent ALL of my gift certificates. 

This is what I got.  It’s a hand painted yarn from Mountain Colors called Ruby River.  Hand painted yarns are always real expensive, but thanks to gift certificates, it was free to me!!! I’m going to knit up a sweater with it.  It’s going to be fantastic!!  People will probably say to me, ‘wow, that sweater looks like it’s been dipped in the ruby river’.  We’ll see how it turns out, hopefully not ugly.  If it is ugly, it will just go in the dressor drawer full of lots of other ugly things I’ve done.   I should put a label on the drawer that says, ‘nothing but ugly in here, do not open’.  That way they are hidden away and everyone thinks that I make nothing but beautiful things.

And then of course, I got more yarn for making baby stuff.  Debbie Bliss’ baby cashmerino is one of my favs.  More baby hats on the way.  There are way more patterns in the Itty Bitty hats book that need to come to life!

    Ya, I’d say your slump is over. I love the ruby river yarn. Great choice. Can’t imagine you could make ugly stuff, but then I haven’t looked in your ugly drawer to see the evidence. Remember, I really like ugly green scarves…..how much do them thare quality items go for any who??? dude, i’m really tired to have just talked like i’m from matlock. good night.

    Are there fish in the Ruby River? I certainly hope so.
