I love new projects.

I love that picture...I'm kinda a "yarn freak". And where did you get/find that brand? I've never heard of it or seen it. But, it looks totally awesome. I just love the "earthy" look.

P.S. If that was your project in the pic, I'm impressed.

Hazel,

I think I also fit into the category of "yarn freak", although I don't believe I've ever identified myself as one until now.... :-)

I found this yarn at a local knit shop called Yarn Birds, but it can also be found online. I'm really loving it and it comes in some great colors. Be aware though, it is expensive. Some dear friends of mine gave me a gift certificate for that store and I had such a great time picking out yarn and a pattern. I'm making a baby sweater and possibly a matching hat - I'll definitely post pictures of the finished project.

Below are a couple links to find this yarn online. The first has the color I'm using (143 Bean) and is selling it at normal retail price. The second doesn't have that color, but the yarn is on sale so it's worth checking out. I hope this helps!

Hello Elizabeth,
What beautiful yarn and beautiful work! You have inspired me! Lauren and I love to knit simple things. (we are not quite that advanced yet) and I was just thinking about what project I wanted to begin. You helped me to think of yarn in a completely different way. I think I searched the web and have come up with my project. I can't wait to start it. I will have to let you know when I get it further along.
Blessings to you and your family,
Mrs. Hope
