Yarn Love
In honor of Valentine's Day, I present to you what I received as my "Unloved Sock Yarn Swap" hosted by Beth. This is from the HockeyMom, it is Lion Magic Stripe, which despite not being a luxury sock yarn, I quite like. This stuff makes a very quick pair of socks and wears like iron. I have 2 pair in this brand already and they take a beating every week, inside my heavy hiking boots, then into the washer and hot dryer no problems. So, while Sandy had no love for it, I certainly will - this is good all-purpose sock making material. And some pretty-pretty (made by you?) stitch markers as well. Thank you!
And for head over heels yarn love, here is my BunnyCrack all spun up. This is 80/20 merino/angora. I got just under 400yds from my 3oz slice of heaven.
This is just divine stuff, and is becoming a scarf for me. I need a new one, and with New England spring on the way, I should be able to get some wear out of it this season.
As for a Valentine from my Sweety, what could be more romantic than "How about instead of me spending upwards of $100 on a dozen roses for you, we put that money into your "saving for a drum-carder" fund?" Music to my ears, my love - thank you, its just what I wanted! Won't be long now.

You yarn is beautiful and that scarf looks so soft. As for the roses, I think it's crazy how much they cost on Valentine's Day. You'll get much more pleasure out of the drum carder!
That is sweet!
Hey, you conquered the bunnycrack! And it looks fantastic. I can't think of a better Valentine's gift than a fiber tool.
Can your hubby give my hubby some romance tips on getting a fiber-loving wife a drum carder? Nothing says "I have passion for you" than a gift of fiber and a machine to process it!
Happy Valentine's Day!
That Sweety is definitely a keeper!!
Love how the BunnyCrack is knitting up.
Bunny! Sock yarn! Money for a drum-carder. Lots of love happening around here - enjoy! ;-)
Your yarn and scarf are looking wonderful. Drum carder, eh? Carding party at PumpkinMama's! ;)
I'm glad you like your yarn! And, yes I did make the stitch markers.
The bunnycrack looks great. I find myself wishing for the day I can spin that beautifully.
I love your BunnyCrack! I'm totally impressed with your spinning.
Also, you have what sounds like a damn fine man.
Yup, that's a sweetie! I got a necklace and might take it back for a "serger" fund!
Bunny crack! Be-still my heart!
Gorgeous bunny crack yarn! And I agree with you wholeheartedly about Magic Stripes. It just begs to be hated, but it's really great for socks.
What a beautiful scarf you are making! You make the bunnies proud!
