I got my Malabrigo sock yarn from Webs today. (Well, yesterday, but the mailman came late, and I forgot to check.) It’s the Solis colorway, and I was expecting richer blues and greens. Still, it’s quite pretty, and I suspect I’d be perfectly happy with it if the following hadn’t happened. It came in a […]
On Monday, I got my Sock Yarn from your Stash swap package from sicklipstick (on Ravelry). The yarn is Opal handpainted in a really neat blue and orange colorway. There were a number of other goodies, and it was a great package. I really enjoyed the swap. (Man I’ve taken a long time to post
