I forgot to include a note with fiber content: The brown is wool with silk slubs, and the other is mohair and wool. Happy Holidays! God bless us, every one! Glad you liked the handspun!

Sarah did a beautiful job. I'm drooling over the tweed, a masterpiece...and just happen to idly note that the gorgeous Malabrigo seems to be, gee, red... Could they possibly go together? And the gray/blue (aqua?) - clouds. Soft. Mmm. Looks like great fun was had! Convertible gloves/mitts? Here I was thinking socks all this time! LOL. Looking very nice. Re consumerism - pfft. Stop that. You said almost all was store credit; you worked for it. Bind not the mouths of the kine, etc., etc., stop letting the Puritan take over and just enjoy it. ;) Besides; you're gonna make stuff with it. Think of it as clothes budget. Ok, doesn't work for books and the bag, but one must have flexibility about this sort of thing. Ohmythehandspun! Sarah did a beautiful job.

I entirely understand your thinking. Thanks for the quotation - when I first read it, I thought it was from Dr Johnson and there is no higher praise, at least from me. I do like a knitting blog where you get a good literary quote. I hope the knitting bag does change your life, and in a good way. I entirely understand your thinking.

Thanks for giving me your blog name at the sale- it's been enjoyable reading so far. That handspun is irrestible- especially the tweediness. I think tweed is the new chocolate for me. I feel like I too should be harboring more than 10 skeins of Malabrigo for a sweater- that will be my I Hit The Jackpot sweater and I'd wear it exactly like that. What ever will you make with it?

It's nice to know I'm not the only one :) The handspun is beautiful! I love Loop-d-Loop, and I just recently got Inspired Cable Knits. It also looks to be a much-loved book.
