I got this wonderful little surprise in the mail the other day. It’s a package from Meg at Twisted Fiber Arts. The two wound cakes in the middle are Arial fingering weight yarn in Firefly on the top and Shadow on the bottom. Those two I already had a plan for – they will become a double-knit scarf. I’ve already started and knit almost half of it. The yarn is amazingly soft, and the colour transition on the Firefly is very subtle, which is lovely. It’s knitting up really well, and I can’t wait to show it off, although I’m afraid it will have to remain a secret for a few months. By Christmas I should be able to share though.
The two skeins on the left are Kabam (merino/bamboo/nylon) and on the right is Playful (superwash).
She also sent me two mini-samples of Muse and Catnip, and I have to say that I immediately fell for the Catnip (on the right). It’s an aran weight silk/merino blend that is just stunning. I don’t really knit a lot of things in aran weight, but I’m simply going to have to come up with something as an excuse to use this yarn.
On a completely non-knitting related front, today is an anniversary of sorts for me. It’s now been twenty years since I emigrated from Sweden. Twenty years today. I can’t believe it. When I moved from Sweden to the US, I had planned to stay one year. But then it became one more, and then perhaps a few more, and then I met my (Canadian) husband, got married and moved to Canada. Twenty years ago, staying in North America for so long seemed inconceivable, but it’s been amazing. I’m curious to see where the next 20 years will take me.
