February is upon us...
the shortest month of the year. I always feel that once February is here, we are closer to March, and that March brings us closer to spring. Its that little trick that I do that makes me think that winter is almost over...
I've been doing lots of knitting, (of course!) and will have some new projects to share soon. I have watched some great shows while I am clicking away at my needles....
Downton Abbey, of course...(I'm so sad that it is ending)
Anzac Girls (have you seen it? I thought it was wonderful!!)
Call the Midwife...(I am so behind on this one, and loving every minute of it!)
Some books that I recently finished and loved...
Circling the Sun, Along the Infinte Sea, and the Milliner's Secret.
All were wonderful books that I could hardly put down -- perhaps you will love them too...
For those of us still in the midst of winter... hang on just a bit longer...spring will be here soon!
Love
Vicki

Beautiful yarn in my most favorite of colors. My sister and I crocheted and lot of hats and scarfs for our annual holiday party last year. There is such beautiful yarns on the market today. I would love to share this potential yarn win with her. We both would love it.
ReplyDeleteVicki, very beautiful photos! The yarn looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi. My name is Ruth. I'm addicted to yarn. I came to this meeting not to find a way to cure my addiction, but rather to brag and announce I have no intention of curbing my collection. If anyone in the room wants to pare down their stash (as part of the withdrawal) I have a empty car trunk waiting to be filled. ----smiles and sits down----- When are the cookies and coffee being served?
ReplyDeleteHow very pretty. It looks really soft. I would love to be entered in the give a way.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway! Even in the midst of winter you photos are beautiful...Can't wait to see what you create with the yarns. Thank you for a chance to win some.
ReplyDeleteHugs, V
No sure if my comment went thru will wait to see!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous yarn and I clicked over to their shop and the colors are gorgeous. Thanks for this introduction and enter me in the drawing. Spring is coming heard Peepers last night here on Lookout Mountain.
ReplyDeleteJust pinned this on my "favorite blog" board does that count as I don't have a blog?
ReplyDeleteI think it's wonderful...photographing the wool in a blizzard! It's beautiful, and I would love to use it to knit a soft and snugly scarf for my Granddaughter. Blessings

Beautiful yarn. Just stunning. Even more beautiful are your pictures. But - in a blizzard?????????? You're gutsy, girl.
ReplyDeleteWant to leave a comment but you can leave me out of the race. I wouldn't know what to do with the yarn. Haha. Let a knitt-er/crochet-er have my chance.
Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteThank you for introducing us to another lovely yarn; it sounds so nice to work with. I enjoyed visiting the website and reading how the girls got started. With yet another yarn shop closing here in my city it looks like more and more the ability to fondle quality yarns before buying will be a thing of the past here in Brisbane Australia.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous yarn. I'm itching to touch it!!
ReplyDeletePosted on my groups in facebook as well. :)
Thank you for the opportunity.
I would love to win :D sharing to all my friends
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win such beautiful yarn.

ReplyDeleteSeriously beautiful yarn! So happy you are sharing through your giveaway. Your photos are stunning. Love how you enjoyed the snow to stage them!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! What a beautiful prize :) thanks!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yarn. Can't wait to get some.
ReplyDeleteOoo I would love to win this, it's stunning and I've been looking for some lovely yarn to knit something for my best friend's daughter :)
ReplyDeleteThat is Beautiful yarn. I haven't knit with it yet. Thanks for the heads-up.
ReplyDelete~ ~Ahrisha~ ~
I may have to try some of that yarn...
ReplyDeleteI may have to try some...
ReplyDeleteLove the colors. Thank you for offering this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLovely yarn, thanks for sharing about Tink !
ReplyDeleteSorry, not sure if my previous comment made it through. Just wanted to say thanks for posting about Tink, I hadn't heard of this company before.
ReplyDeleteTink yarn is beautiful. This is a sweet and wonderful giveaway for the month of love. I love the way you showed the yard in your photos. Happy Valentine's Day to you. Blessings, Nancy Carr nancythedove@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI thought the yarn had little crystals on it and now I'm assuming that's snow?! We haven't had that much snow all year..really weird for Ohio. I don't knit but my Granddaughter has learned and I bought her some lovely yarn for Christmas...I had to get someone to go with me because I know nothing about yarn! So she would love this I'm sure! I'm loving our mild Winter and it's making the wait for Spring easier but I so love Easter and can't wait for that! Take Care!
ReplyDeleteHello sweet friend,
ReplyDeleteOh what gorgeous yarn! It looks so soft and fluffy - must be a dream to work with.
What beautiful images you have displayed here. I'm sure there is someone much more needy to own this precious yarn than I - you can decide.
Sending you big hugs to keep you warm and nurtured!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your give a way
my youngest daughter just said last weekend she would like to take knitting classes and we was looking at needles and yarn not knowing which to purchase first
This is very pretty unusual soft looking yarn
here's with my fingers crossed
Janice
Hi, just found you! I don't knit or crochet, but I did crochet a double bed afghan for myself while in high school (white, and 2 different light blues) I am 55 now and have it packed away, as usual, because my family always includes cats and dogs and I want to pass it on to our son. He will be 16 in March. Anyway, I would love to win some yarn, especially if it's as soft as you say! I have a neuro condition that makes it hurtful if the fabric is not soft, so my friend could knit me something! Unless I give it a try. Thanks for sharing and for putting on your contest! Germaine from Ontario, Canada where it is winter here too.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. And love that yarn! Thanks for the opportunity to win it. Warmest regards, Marilyn
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is to die for, Vicki! I visited over at Tink's and it is a feast for the eyes and imagination!
ReplyDeleteI shared your Facebook post and left a comment there. Also shared to my Pinterest "Kit" board and will share with other pinners! Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yarn! I'm not entering. Just stopping by to say hi and send warm wishes your way! Tammy

What beautiful yarn. I love the snow in the photos.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I doubt I'd go out in the snow to take pictures of yarn (I wouldn't be out in the snow to take pictures of anything, but that's because I hate snow). Your photos are wonderful though, cold or not!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn!!! What a blessing it would be to win!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely yarn. I would be excited to win. I really love seeing your beautiful creations and reading about your travels. I am not able to travel and enjoy reading about the fun places you share. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki, very beautiful yarn, and i'd love to be included to win. I haven't been knitting lately but really should get back to it. this would be the perfect yarn to start knitting again...or have you move next door so we could knit together. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely yarn...what a treat it would be to win! I really enjoy reading about your travels and the pretty things you create!
ReplyDeleteThe yarn and your photos are both lovely. I always enjoy the artistic quality to your pictures.
ReplyDeleteA yarn giveaway. Please count me in ! (not that I need anymore yarn)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had your blizzard, mine gave me 3'+ two wks ago. Last night's was only 6". =>¡<=
I can't imagine knitting with yarn so beautiful but ... I certainly would love to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteBless you Vicki for all you do for others.
Just have to giggle about you photo taking in a blizzard. I can just picture it. Such beautiful yarn would get my creative juices flowing. Someday I'll tell you about trying to photograph one of my watercolors outside and it started to rain..... need I say more.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colors and it looks so soft... it would be a treasure :)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful yarn, it invites you to be creative. It would be lovely to have the opportunity to knit with it.

ReplyDeleteButtonmimi,
Thanks for the generous giveaway. I always enjoy your lovely photos and comments.
The yarn is stunning and would be perfectly lovely made into any creation!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You know I'm just tickled pink!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so beautiful and when I opened the package, the yarn is just as beautiful as the photos. It's amazingly soft. I will be searching for the perfect pattern for this fiber. I look forward to seeing what you make with yours, too.
