I thought of taking pictures as I went along opening it but I couldn't wait to see what was inside so I just ripped into it. I put it all back together this morning and did the photo shoot...err...maybe not photo shoot so much as snap shots.
Please excuse the quality.
Prettiness! I was excited already.
Even the tissue paper is cute.
But what was inside that cute tissue paper was gorgeous! What a wonderful color! I love it!!
My first thought was "What a wonderful shawl that will make!". (I even said it out loud and it was only me and the cat at home. I was pretty excited!)
I've never knit with this before so it'll be fun to try it out.
And how did this wonderful yarn happen to get into my mailbox, you ask?? Well, Karen had a contest on her blog and I WON!! Thank you SO MUCH, Karen!
Of course, you know, that as soon as I saw that yarn and knew it had to be a shawl, I got on Ravelry and spent a couple hours, I mean a few minutes, looking at patterns. I might have narrowed it down to two. Sweet Tantalate or Semele. Time will tell if one of these wins or if I spend a couple more hours minutes on Ravelry!
A little update on the tulips...
They did all bloom! And I had no clue what colors I had planted so it was a pleasant surprise when they opened up. :)
Actually the daffodils bloomed too. How did I miss getting them in the picture?
Even the grape hyacinths are doing their thing!
Thanks again, for the awesome yarn, Karen!
