It's like Christmas around here!

Today felt like Christmas.......

The post man brought me this......
You can see that Daisy approves!

I went to my LYS to pick up this........
It's Cascade 220 -- A chat on Ravelry showed that some of us have never knit with Cascade 220 - imagine! Well, it is THE MOST POPULAR yarn on Ravelry.....ranked no. 1 with 28,271 projects! So, I took it upon myself to get a skein from my LYS, Main St. Yarns in Milton Ontario where Carolyn has a wall of this stuff - 100 shades of solids and gorgeous heathers!!!
and surprise, surprise, Carolyn had this for me too...... My AddiTurbo click system....complete with little gold heart pin!!! (I'd ordered it a long time ago!)
Life is good......
Happy Knitting
