It's Wondersoft, which is the name of Stylecraft's baby yarns. It's lovely and soft and I'm now on the lookout for just the right project to make with it.
Not only did Sally send me the yarn, but also in the parcel were some lovely magnetic bookmarks and the cutest little granny square brooch. Sally has only been crocheting for about six months, but the square is so neat. I pinned it to my top straight away.

The smaller, heart shaped bookmarks are just the thing to use in my Filofax, and I'm quite short on actual bookmarks to use in books so I'm very pleased with the larger one too.

Thank you, Sally. It was a lovely parcel to receive.
I totally agree with your first sentence. It's one of the nice extras to blogging.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what you make with the yarn.
As a bookbuff I have to say that you can never have too many bookmarks.
Flighty xx
I know there's always good and bad in every community, but I've only seen good in Blog Land. I only read one fiction book at a time, but I'm usually flicking through lots of non fiction books so it's good to have a few bookmarks to keep pages.
DeletePeople really are generous. I love variegated yarn, love the unpredictability of it.
ReplyDeleteI love variegated yarn too. It always makes me want to knit a little bit more to see how the pattern works out.
DeleteHow lovely of Sally to send you that yarn and other goodies, I'm sure you'll put them to good use, Jo. Although I'm a newbie to blogging, so far I've encountered nothing but kind and generous folk in Blogland. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was delighted when Sally asked if I'd like the yarn but I didn't expect anything else in the parcel, it was a complete surprise, but a very lovely one.
DeleteHow lovely and generous, I'm sure you will find the perfect project for the yarn, I love using varigated threads and yarns. xcx
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what I'll make with the yarn yet, but it will definitely be put to good use.
DeleteLove the blogging community xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's such a wonderful community to be a part of.
DeleteWhat a nice package to get in the post! I like the variegated wools too but it is a pot luck as to how they will come out exactly. Sometimes on the ball they look great, but not so when knitted up. That one has nice colors in it, nice magnetic bookmarks, I got some recently as a freebie on a magazine, they are for patterns, now why couldn't I of thought of that!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely package and so lovely to get some surprises too. I've never thought of using bookmarks for patterns either.
DeleteGlad you like it - I still don't!!!!! :-) I love getting surprises in the post, so I thought why not send some out too.
ReplyDeleteI shall have to see if you change your mind once I make something with it. Thank you once again, I was thrilled to bits with the parcel.
DeleteWhat a thoughtful package from Sally. It's so nice to see people sharing their supplies and ideas in blogland. Enjoy your new yarn, I look forward to seeing what you make!
ReplyDeleteI'm still looking out for the perfect project. I thought perhaps I should make something baby related since the yarn is baby yarn, but I don't have any babies to knit for.
DeleteThat's a lovely treat to get in the post. I think you'll be able to make something lovely out of the yarn - have you seen Tin Can Knits' Vivid blanket? I've been making squares with leftover sock yarn and the variegated yarns work out beautifully xx
ReplyDeleteI've just looked up the Vivid Blanket, it's beautiful. What a good idea to use up the left over sock yarn to make it, I bet it will look fab.
DeleteHi Jo. I thought I had your private email address but having looked for it I'm not sure. Is it the Aol one? Both tony and I said how much we had enjoyed it and you and I will definitely have to meet up for coffee and crochet. It would probably have to be a Saturday when tony is working but we go away next week so will have to be after then.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the beautifully knitted washcloth and soap and also the sweeties!
I have been looking at your gorgeous crochet projects on your blog, they're far better than mine, you really do have a flair for it. Anyway I'm going to have a bath now but just wanted to say a big thank you and to say how much we enjoyed it. Lots of love, anne x
It is the AOL one. I'm glad you enjoyed yesterday, I did too, and what a difference in the weather from today. We shall definitely have to meet up again, and next time I'll have my crochet hook with me. Have a great holiday and we'll arrange a date when you get back.
DeleteHow kind! I don't think that I have come across anyone in blogland who hasn't been nice, but not everyone sends off parcels at the drop of a hat, so that is even nicer isn't it!! xx
ReplyDeleteIt is. It's really lovely to come across such a great bunch of people.
DeleteHow lovely it's so nice to get little surprises in the post.
ReplyDeleteIt really is, it cheered my day up no end.
DeleteWhat a lovely surprise! Bookmarks always come in handy for some of us, don't they. I should be able to post properly again once we get home. Thanks for our lovely morning on Sunday and yes cyberspace definitely does have its benefits. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI'm really pleased with the bookmarks, they'll all come in very handy. I had a lovely time on Sunday, I'm sure we'll get to do it again sometime.
DeleteHow kind! And to use a little granny square as a brooch is such a sweet idea.
ReplyDeleteThose bookmarks are ideal for your filofax.

I love my little granny square brooch, it's so cute. The bookmarks are tucked in my Filofax and are being well used.
