When it comes to getting yarn into this house, I have the worst luck! I almost can’t believe how bad my luck is sometimes.
Last week, a friend, Sheryl . . who is also Denise‘s friend . . and those two get me in so much trouble . . Sheryl sent an email to Denise and me about some patterns she had found on Ravelry. There were several patterns but the one I absolutely loved was Iolanthe. I don’t see it looking real good on me but it would be darling on Nicole so I sent her a message to see if she liked it and she did so I asked her to choose yarn and she did.
The yarn was supposed to arrive tomorrow . . Saturday . . when Vince is home. It’s not like I can casually walk onto the porch and pick up something left by the mail lady. No . . I have to drive down to the highway and get it. And, no . . I am not getting a post office box. Vince doesn’t really care . . he just loves to aggravate me and I so seldom go to town . . I wouldn’t even go to get yarn.
This morning I looked at the tracking and . . great! It’s going to be delivered today. The not so great part is that Vince came home for lunch and said . . I’m taking off this afternoon. Are you kidding me?? Nope, not kidding!
Here’s the pattern and the yarn. Both are just beautiful and I can’t wait to get started.

Your are such an enabler! I just had to check out what sweater you were going to make and loved it, so of course, I had to get it. Aaarrggg
Denise ~ justquiltin says
I loved that one too (darn that Sheryl) and tho it wouldn’t look good on me I was thinking my sister would love it -but I need to finish the top I made her first to see how it fits before thinking about another for her. Love the color of the yarn you got. I think Vince is checking your tracking to know when to take the afternoon off. LOL
Swooze says
Did you add 6 or 26? If there are 20 more just wanted to see them too…lol
JudyL says
Neither! I added 7. I must’ve added the 19 added the previous week to the 7 added this week to come up with 26 but that wasn’t right. I’ve corrected it now . . the rest of the numbers (even the totals) were correct. Go figure!

Pretty pattern and a great color, what’s not to like? Nicole lucked out with such a nice MIL!
