Merry Christmas me.

I didn't just give myself a book for christmas.  I also gave myself some very special yarn.  I bought some yarn from a local to me person who had some really lovely things on offer.  On Ravelry, look for the Edmonton Knitters Group thread called Spring Cleaning - Major destash Handpainted yarns.  

I treated myself to a some very special things.  

She had some of my most loved Fleece Artist BFL 2/8.  If I make a sweater from this, I need a little more of the grey, but a sweater is not out of reach.  The other thing this would look great as is a colourwork shawl, using the two together for a massive thistle or something like that.  No matter.  It is really wonderful stuff .

And then, a yarn I looked at seriously when I bought from this person before. Yarn Love's Amy March in the Silent Night colourway.

I have a lot of navy cascade 220 and I can think of several sweaters that would perfect using that in combination with this. 

There.  All my Christmas shopping is done.  All my gifts are here except for one book and if that doesn't arrive on time, it is okay.  Well and the maker ones we have yet to do.   Amazon did pretty amazing this year.  Having the post office do the delivery job has been a real bonus in my eyes.  Everything is safe and dry and warm till I go pick it up. 

I love small towns.
