I received the new Knit Picks catalog in the mail early this past week, and as I flipped through the pages, my attention was drawn to one kit in particular…
That, my friends, is the Heartwarming Stocking Kit.
Oh word, but I just knew I had to have it. The Mr. once asked if I would knit some stockings for the house, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity…especially since the kit was on sale.
I ordered it, and my box arrived today…
I eagerly dug in…
Isn’t it pretty?
Take a look at what you see when you turn the bag over…
Oh, yarny goodness!!!!
I didn’t dare open the plastic wrap to touch the yarn in fear of totally losing my wits and forgetting that I had lesson plans to write.
The plans have been finished, and I have one day of fun before the week begins (along with another ESOL class).
I have decided to play with yarn on Sunday.
No, I will not cast on, because I have two other projects going. However, I will cradle the yarn tenderly, loving on it…holding it close to my face…dreaming of when I can put the first stitches on my needles.
The colorwork scares me, but I’ve got some time to get over my fears.
I have much to do in the way of real life work and such.
Still, the joy from the yarn treat, though a bit frivolous, will linger, giving me something to look forward to when things slow down.
