No, seriously, whatever sheep were shorn meant business.
My cousin came up for the long weekend (she lives in Boston, where she does fabulous things. She really deserves a whole post for all of her stories), and, taking advantage of our dual power, my aunt invited the two of us over to paw through a bunch of her old yarn. As I understand it, she just has a huge back up of yarn that was intended, upon its purchase, to become something. But she just doesn't have the time to knit anymore, so she gave it all to us.
Fine by me.
Because she buys really, really nice yarn. Not the "nice" stuff from AC Moore, but the nice stuff from the local knitting holes.
We split the yarn evenly between us, which, if you can believe it, left each of us with overflowing extra-large shopping bags.
Some of it's sock yarn (I'll be learning to knit socks soon, which is good, since my feet are constantly the temperature of a dead body left in Alaska), some of it's for felting (destined to become finger puppets, probably), there's a little bit of hemp, and then a bunch of the types of yarn that sort of fall in the middle.
WHAT DO I DO?
I would like all of your suggestions, please.
