I am in LOVE with this yarn and want to get going on something bigger like a tank, or a vest.This yarn is super special and it will be cool and drape nicely, so what's not to love.Now if you want to know the pattern (which is why I debated on posting this) I haven't written it up yet, but will and am going to see who will want to test knit it for me until then happy knitting and crocheting!

Well I hope you all are having a great week and here we are at Friday, YEAH! The Traveling Sweater didn't get to travel much this week since have we have been really busy!! So maybe I should change the name to the stay at home sweater?? Ha ha!!I wanted to take the sweater to visit the famous Reno arch, but just couldn't find the time. Imagine the sweater being held up there at the base of the arch and waving at you!I am born and raised here in Reno and a native Nevadan is considered to be a rare bird for sure.

Wow tons of stuff is going on around here and we are literally stacked up with boxes upon boxes of yarn, WOW!!! I can't keep up and even asked Sandy if she knew about a certain something yesterday and she said she didn't have a clue. Sandy is my go to liason for questions like that becaue she helps unpack everything and knows what's what in all those boxes, so now it's like opening a present every time we tear into one, YEAH!!One of you out there heard we were having a hectic day the other day and sent Amber flowers!!! Amazing is all I can say on that one and they are beautiful too, so we have all been enjoying them. Thanks for making Amber's day and ours too!!As you can see I have still been pestering everyone with my camera and here is Leanne (who is an extra small) in the Flared Sleeve...
