Birthday Swag


Yesterday was my birthday! And look at the cool swag I got!



Sock yarn!








AND:



Lorna's Laces yarn! This one is "Lion & Lamb" (50%wool 50% silk) in the Tahoe colourway. It is destined to be a Clapotis. http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/PATTclapotis.html

Now I need to make a yarn swift. the last time I unwound a skein it was a nightmare of tangled yarn. Even with the hubby's help. It didn't help that it was a boucle and inclined to snag itself when unwinding.... Buying a swift is very expensive though. So today I am off to the hardware store to see if I can get some stuff to make my own. We shall see....
