hotties
hope no one does some weird search engine on this title. i guess they will be greatly disappointed in the subject if they do tho......
well i broke into that Malabrigo yarn that my Secret Pal sent me. WOW!!!! now i know i told you how pretty and how soft that yarn was. but that was nothing, i mean nothing compared to knitting with it. (and i'm not just saying this to make my SP feel great, which i hope she does).
a m a z i n g!!!! softer than anything i have ever knit with. and the slight color changes are so beautiful. you can't really see them until you knit with it. secret pal, do you knit with this stuff? if not, you MUST treat yourself to some too.
this is, hands down, my new fav yarn. i've always been so in love with Manos. still am. love it for the many things it can do, the way the it last forever after it's been knit up, and love the way it felts. but this is butter baby.
what is this yarn becoming? i'm making a new hot water bottle cover. my daughter gave me a hot water bottle with a cover two years ago for Christmas. it was my first one. i love that thing. i've taken it to bed with me just about everynight in the winter for those two years. i like to fill it with really hot water and set it on my side of the bed, then go wash my face, brush my teeth, you know. and then when i come back to bed it's toasty warm. i put my feet on it when i read, before i drift off to sleep. no...don't get all excited, i'm not some princess living in a cold, dark castle. we just keep it really cold in the bedroom at night.
well that cover is getting a bit shabby. and guess what, without my knowing it, this is the perfect yarn for the project. i will have the softest hottie ever. (my English friend in knitting class told me that's what they called them when she was a little girl).
BTW: finished my Noro Winter Caplet. everyone must make one. it will only take you a day or so. you really could use any yarn. and so darn cute with a vintage or in my case a vintage looking pin at the neck. wore mine lastnight!!!
