The mailman moved way up on my list of favorite people this week. That's because he brought me two skeins of this Handmaiden Camelspin.
It's a bit pathetic, I am carrying the skein around the house with me from room to room; placing it lovingly in a spot where I can see it, reflect on it's stunning colorway and casually strolling over for a bit of a fondle now and then. It's simply to die for. I have written effusive, flowery notes full of praise to Handmaiden Yarns asking (OK, begging) to carry their yarn, any of it, to no avail. They are sold out.
So in the meantime this will just go on my list of personal knitting pleasures while I wait for the knitting gods to smile down on me and add us to the vendor list.
Although some say that there are enough scarves in the world already I really truly think this yarn has to be wrapped around my neck to be enjoyed to it' maximum potential. It is a knitter's dilemma. I guess I'll have to think of something special and am open to recommendations. I have 600 lovely meters.
It's sooo pretty. I carried the yarn I got for Christmas around for days...

That's looks startling like the cake of Fleece Artist bfl that is sitting next to me as I type, waiting to be made into...something. Is that the Paris colorway?

It's luscious. thank you for the stunning photo - now I will run off and attempt to find a bit for myself :-)
It would look great knit up in Anne's pattern called "Gust"

I think we have all carried around that special something at times. How else coule we admire it, love it and let it know how much we appreciate that it exists?
