Oh what a day I have had... picking out yarn for my Christmas projects! And, of course, could not resist something extra because it was pretty and something else because it was on sale! I have already forgotten the colorways and only remember that some was an alpaca/silk blend for my sister. Once all the pretties arrive - I will post pics so you can drool along with me! I also purchased some lovelies from my friend at Liberty's Yarn . If you have not checked out her fabulous online shop yet - you definitely should.

THOSE people who think every study session is all about THEM and that only THEIR time is valuable. It's going to be a long semester.
