This week I discovered a new group in Ravelry that I really like called the
Chittery Chattery Swappery group while I was stalking my swap partner. It's all about swapping great yarns with other yarn enthusiasts, but they're also kind of goof balls in there, which I love! Each forum has different games that are played like I Spy, Snobberific, and Yarnything Goes (just like your mom). I was lurking through the forums and someone in the forum called Instant Gratification asked for some pink Malabrigo lace, and I happened to have about 5 skeins of it in my stash, so when I offered it to her, she accepted!
Then it was MY turn to ask for something. I thought about it for a while and decided to ask for some worsted weight, cream/natural coloured, squishy wool for a scarf I had in mind for my dad for Christmas.
And guess what came in the mail today??
SQUEEEEEEEEE!!! This stuff is AMAZING! I swear, I have never felt anything that came close to be as soft as my cat, but this stuff might be it!! It is SO squishable and SO soft!!
So. Tonight, I will be casting on this for a Christmas Gift.
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
Thats so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am sending out your earrings Monday morning!
Pretty scarf. I loooooove Malabrigo and the soft, squishiness of it. I need to start thinking about Christmas myself. I took the Handmade Pledge so I have lots of knitting/quilting to do in the next several months.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yarn and a perfect pattern! I hope you will share pics of the FOs. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful scarf and I bet your Dad will love it. What a fun Ravelry group and lovely yarn!
ReplyDeleteI used Malabrigo for the first time last year, and I was love at first encounter. That stuff is amazing - so far I've only used Worsted and Silky Merino.
ReplyDeleteI think we'll be friends for life.
