I received a birthday box today, and since it came from one of my very best friends I couldn’t resist opening it right away. My birthday is on Monday, so I get to celebrate all weekend long. Ta da.

So inside I found. Yarn. malabrigo kettle dyed pure merino wool. worsted. emerald blue. www.malabrigoyarn.com & obligatory photo :

It will be something for me but what I don’t yet know. It is 216 yards, approx 3.5 ounces. If you have any ideas let me know, since I have none right now I need suggestions ; )  I found 2 hats that are cute, but someone on ravelry attempted one of them with this very yarn-twice- & it didn’t come out well (it calls for a sport weight), so I’ll likely go with the other.

Along with the yarn was a *gorgeous* circular needle case handmade in Nepal (www.frabjousfibers.com) I use circs pretty much exclusively these days, my marsha knows this. Photo:

She also got me Dr Pepper lipsmackers & a jake-original homemade birthday card that brought me to tears. Lovelovelove I miss you guys like crazy.

OH One last thing, a photo of the finishing needed only hip skirt i’ve been working on
