Yarn Surprises!

Wow, I'll tell ya, I have the bestest girlfriends that dye their own yarns and they sure are purdy, but I know some of you already know this...lol
Well I had ordered, unfortunately, just the 1 skein of Shades of Lilac from Mama (Amanda). It came in last week but I didn't have a chance to photo shoot it! (new puppy in the house) Love the colors and wish I would've had the extra money to get more then the one. I did go back to look and well, most was sold by then :( Absolutely gorgeous I tell ya! My photo does it NO justice at all!
Then you all remember this post on Jessi's blog, Mary's Atlantis yarn! I fell in love with the colors and it just shined so pretty! Well, not knowing what was going on and Jessi posted some new yarns, I just had to get some from her. These are the 2 skeins I ordered as I want to do socks for the family for Christmas. I again fell in love with the colors.
Love that Bermuda even though I'm not much for green, it sure does look gorgeous with that blue! Reminds me of the ocean I miss so much! I thought the Olive Branch would be great for guys socks if I get that far..lol Anyways along with my yarn order came this...
OMG! I was floored once again from my fellow friends and bloggers. My "Atlantis" yarn (now it makes sense to what her post was about) along with a gorgeous cloth (gosh if I ever knit half that nice, I'd be happy), its beautiful and so soft (need to know what you gals use for those), some mini note cards and a knitters counter. I had been wondering about getting something like that for when I knit along with the Clothmaker group (yes, I've been knitting in the background).
Jessi, you really put a smile on my face and warmed my heart! You are definitely a very caring friend. (I do still miss my girls very much, their was a definite attachment). I loved everything and about the card, your Welcome, but its a "BIG Thank you" to you!! I'm just amazed and speechless.
I know you've all been so great to me & Lady during the past few months and I just can't tell ya all how much we really do appreciate it!! THANK YOU TO ALL!!

I'm so glad you liked everything! :-) And I love that Shades of Lilac!

I typically use my cloths for washing my face or something like that. The sturdier ones that I make out of dishcloth cotton, I use for cleaning in my kitchen. :-)
