I have got almsot 200grams of this and it is an inbetween ply but will suit 8ply projects.

Now my delema is, i have no idea what to do with it :S it is so beautiful i dont want to make just "anything" it has to be beatiful!

I also want to make somehting for myself, as all i seem to do is knit for other people and not myself.

So, any ideas people?

Hand Spun Goddess!

My second yarn swap arrived in the post today and i almost fainted when i saw what was inside!
My amazingly talented yarn fairy had not only hand dyed my yarn she had also hand spun it!
This swap was based on a painting of my choice and i chose a few paintings that were all similar and involving the generla theme of a "goddess" including this one

My yarn fairy chose the rich purply tones with hints of peach and real sparkly gold to create this beautiful masterpeice

My swap also included a hat pattern, a chocolate fudge brownie recipe ( food of the gods) and some lovely vevlet fabric impressions.

I dont think i will use my yarn for the hat pattern though, i need to find something equally as beautiful as the yarn before i start knitting it up :)
