I feel totally spoiled, in an awesome and fantastic way. My birthday is Saturday. I’ll be 31. Obviously I drop hints like a madwoman when birthdays or Christmas come around because all I want is yarn, or yarn-related equipment most of the time. It’s working… My dear friend Kathleen made my heart go pitter-patter, totally aflutter with this amazing sock yarn from Hazel Knits in Hoppy Blonde.
She also got me a fun little piggy bank to save up for my yarn.
I’m not sure how good I’ll be at saving up for yarn, since I so often give into impulse…but it’s a cute gift, nonetheless.
There was some other random yarny goodness that came about this week. I ready Amy Herzog’s blog and she posted on her birthday on the 21st of June. I wished her a happy birthday and ended up winning some yarn from her for leaving a comment. Good birthday karma, I guess. It’s some gorgeous Fiesta La Luz 100% silk DK weight yarn. I won three skeins, which is 630 yards.
I’ve got to think of some amazing projects for all of this loveliness!
I just sat and read your post wearing my favourite cardigan (‘Hay’ from Madelinetosh) which I knit in Hazel Knits ‘Hoppy Blonde’! It’s amazing yarn, enjoy… and Happy Birthday!
Gorgeous yarn! They’re perfect colors for fall! And have a very happy birthday!!
That’s a great color of the Hazel Knits. I can’t wait to see what you make with it.
That yarn looks fabulous! I’m excited to see what you’ll do with it. I hope you have a nice, knitting-filled birthday, as well!
What a great way to be spoiled! Hope the good birthday karma keeps going all week

Lovely yarn! And happy birthday
Ooooooh lovely yarns. Happy early birthday!!
That Fiesta looks amazing.
What beautiful gifts! and that silk yarn you won… drool.
Those are perfect fall colours, and I suspect you’ll have no trouble coming up with lovely projects for both! That Hazel Knits yarn is especially gorgeous.
