I’m glad you let that nudge guide you. Whatever the yarn and needles lead you to make will be lovely.

Silly question department: Did that small ball of Manos silk blend have legs, or was it motorized?

I doubt you’ll have any trouble finding a use for the yarn, you clever gal, you!

That ball of yarn is like an amaryllis – all the colors, even the stem. Lovely!

The Manos followed you home??? That’s not good, you should get rid of it right away. I can keep it safe for you……::grin::

What lovely yarn! Can’t wait to see the final result.

Absolutely beautiful yarn. I love your phrasing: “the rest of the your story”. I have some stash lace that I’m just waiting for it to tell me what it wants to be. What will those stories be, I wonder? Enjoy the knitting!

I totally believe in following those gut feelings! It is how my kids became adults, lol! Love that you went, and found your friends. And a lovely yarn, to boot! Yummy colors, can’t wait to see what you make…and hear/read the rest of the story!!

I had a lovely evening meeting two old friends. One of them wanted to learn to knit!
I prepared a wee knit kit (some needles, some notions, a skein of yarn, and a good how to book) and he was delighted :-}
I will probably blog more about it tomorrow, but It was just lovely, he repaid me by singing my favorite song in their show.

Love it! Tell me when you solve the mystery.

And if you find that you need a couple extra skeins of the Manos for whatever the project decides to grow up to be, let me know! I’ve got some in stash from a swap.

I can’t wait either, to hear the rest of the story!

I think it’s lovely! I can’t wait to see what you create.

I knitted a neck warmer for my daughter in this colorway and it was gorgeous. You might be surprised at the outcome as I can see you in these colors after seeing you in that beautiful pink shawl at the signing last year.

Now this will be interesting… I can hardly to see what these two (yarn and needles) come up with. hihihi
