Yarn, lunch, birthdays

 

It's fine. No reason to panic. 

I'm 40 today. Yesterday, I was in my 30s. Today, 40s. Feeling a little... cranky? Maybe just, ambivalent? Sleepy? Sedated? Hungry? I hope they still give you a free slice of cheesecake at Michaels off Main on your birthday.

However, enough of that, this is a Knitting Blog, not the Agony Aunt. And what is more knitterly and life-embracing than pictures of yarn? The Arimono Shawl/Sweatermaker Kits have had such a great response, we're going to try some single skein kits, in a fingering weight merino/silk.

Here are a few pics of Sweatermaker Yarns Marjorie, 50% merino, 50% silk, 350 meters/100 g. One skein of this will make a long skinny scarf or a smal shawl. It is wonderful to work with. And I have a gorgeous pile of it, with fantastic colors. More on Marjorie soon.

Happy Birthday. I entered my 40's a few months ago and felt the same. Enjoy the day and the yarn porn is a great way to enjoy the day. :D

Happy Birthday! I've just entered my last year of 40s and I have to say ... 40s were awesome! Scrumptious skeins, by the way.

Happy Birthday! It's my birthday today too. ;) I'm 55 today, does that mean I'm middle aged now? The yarn skeins all look so beautiful!
