Happy Tuesday to you, Yarn Lover đˇ. I’ve been super busy since the beginning of October. I’m sure you have, too. It’s that crazy time of year, isn’t it? But everything can be managed with a great cup of coffee. Today, I had planned on posting everything yarn-related that we’ve been up to for the past few weeks. But I could not contain my excitement about a new indie yarn! I just had to share it with you.

Hellooooo dear yarn lovers. Long time no see! It has been a few too many weeks since I last chatted with you. Almost feels like I’ve lost my blog-voice and need to find it again.
It sure has been an eventful (ie: challenging) few weeks with a sick new kitten that infected one of our older cats, our dog-let (actually a biggish border collie) needing surgery, sick kids and other health issues, broken gate, hacked e-mail, dad unexpectedly at the emergency room and… The list of drama actually goes on. Some of it has been the usual daily mishaps and goings-on, but there have been an unusual number of humdinger disasters in-between. Which made me wonder – how has this past month been for you? Whether or not it’s been a tough one for you too, here’s a virtual hug for you đ¤. Everyone can do with a hug, even when you’re feeling on top of the world! Â
Clearly this is not Wonder Woman’s blog. Nope, I don’t get everything magically done (I wish!) in between whatever chaos may be happening around me. Come to think of it, I’m not sure even Wonder Woman actually has time for her own blog. It’s at times like these that I envy people with gazillions of Pounds, Euros, Dollars or even Rands who can pay multitudes of other people to deal with it when the paw-paw flies non-stop at the fan. But I’ll spare you the rest of the drama details, because in between all of that was a lot of good stuff, too…

Hi yarn-lovers. I thought I’d share with you a few of the plans I have for some of the yarns in my stash. I’m just dying to get started on these projects. I’m so desperate to get my hands on them that I’ve taken a break from binding off a sweater – Stella My Size. Yes, that’s all that’s left to be done – cast it off!
Instead, I’m using the excuse of telling you about my plans just so that I can touch these skeins and cakes of exquisiteness. They remind me of my reward when I’ve bound off a WIP (work in progress, in case you’re not familiar with the lingo). I’ve made a commitment to only start a new project when I finish another. And in-between I dream of what’s in my stash and of their potential to become something gorgeous…Â

I am so excited about starting this blog. I’ve been in such a state of hyper-enthusiasm over the last week that I’ve barely been able to get a good nights’ rest. Brimming with adrenalin, too excited (and sometimes frustrated) to sleep.
Ironically, however, I havenât shared my plans with many people. Almost as if saying it out loud too many times would make its life force disappear before it had a chance to be born. So if youâre reading this soon after posting, youâre one of the first to know! Youâve witnessed the birth ;-).
For now, this is a blog about my LOVE of SA’s natural-fibre yarns, my desire to stash all the beautiful yarns I come across (and frequently do!) and what I do with the gorgeous wooly wonderfulness in my boxes and boxes of stash â which is mainly knit, weave and, on occasion, crochet. I have some absolute favourite, drool-worthy boutique and indie-dyed yarns that Iâll share all the details about, as well as the wipâs (works in progress) and foâs (finished objects) that they will become. And if youâre thinking of learning a yarn-craft like knitting, crocheting or weaving, I hope you find some inspiration here…
