I'm having enough fun to share!

Oooohhh I've got to get busy! My yarn came in the mail yesterday!!! You see the lime green and turquoise in there? Not a coincidence that they match the flip-flops I featured last month. The first thing I thought when I saw this box was "Are all four of my cones in this box??" But, when I cracked it open, they were all smiling at me. All four! Hey, do you happen to notice the navy and white cones of yarn. Those are the colors I chose for my striped project, which will be my next project. Can't wait. It's been quite an exciting day on the knitting front.
I love these moments!

Yarn Goodies!

I'm almost done knitting my shrug. I started knitting the band yesterday. So, I'm glad to say that everything else has been knit up! Sometimes projects go through stages. I started out excited about this project and then that excitement curtailed a bit. Once I got the fronts and back knitted the fun started again with the sleeves. They knitted up so quickly and the next day I'm picking out a stitch pattern for my band and knitting it up. The fun is back!

Where do you get your yarn. I have a standard machine and would like to make a maxi dress too.
