The yarn is here, the yarn is here!
The postal person stealthily put it on my porch, and there it was when I opened to door to walk up the driveway to check the mail. I know what I’m doing tomorrow . . .
Meanwhile,
the giant skein of overdyed blue finally dried, and taking advice from the commenters, I decided to test the limits of the All-Powerful Reeling Machine and see if it could hold all 1200 yards of yarn. It was doing well, but then the yarn got a bit tangled in one of the wire loops holding the skeiner together and it frayed rather severely. I went ahead and broke it off and started a second ball.
Here they are, enjoying the sun on what is likely to be the last warm day of the year.

Well, we had the sunny part today, although the warm part of the shipment seems to have been delayed. Thanks, it was a treat!

It finalllleeeee rained here & the weather cooled too. At last it’s Autumn as it should be!
Also, I couldn’t remember if i had already told you, but a week or so ago (and before the aforementioned rain had arrived), what should I find poking its way up out of the dead leaves at the base of my Tulip tree, not one, but TWO of my cyclamens blooming! Needless to say, I was delighted; you were right, those are some tough little flowers… spotted another one just the other day.

Ok, so I’m sure this is a way of internet ease-dropping, but where of where did you get that fab yarn?! It’s like a big box of marshmallows! (Only you can do much more with the yarn!)
