Look at what I got already! I just ordered this and it is here already. Too cool.
This is the Peace Fleece Lauren's Coral for the Everyday Sweater. It is less salmony than I expected and more like homemade tomato soup....it has that reddish pink look about it. It is pretty, regardless. I also indulged myself and got the needles too. They are pretty to look at and felt very smooth too when I ran my fingers over them.
This is Peace Fleece Moldova Burgundy. I'm going to make Easy Mittens out of it. I might not have picked this color except for the fact that we have a foreign worker working for us this year and he is from Moldova. He's a super worker and good person and it'll be a nice reminder of him....maybe if I get super ambitious I could give him the mittens....have to think about that. He leaves for home in December though....
Here is felting wool for the kitties and the grandkids. The kitties already love it and it'll make soft "nerf" type balls for the grandkids and the kitties to play with.
And I was also smart enough to order the sample cards so I'd have a better chance of knowing what to order next time. I really struggled to pick a color but Norma said that the Lauren's Coral was gorgeous and she even swatched it and put it on her blog. What better advice could you get than that!!
So it was exceptionally fun to go to the post office today. I didn't even hope to get this for at least a week. It does create a problem though. I really need to start the Christmas Sweater for DGS but I can't get gauge and am so very frustrated and it would be very tempting to just skip that for now and try gauging for MY sweater instead! :)
