More holiday treats

Here’s an overdue thank you to my friends Gina and Todd, who gave me some very excellent knitting-themed Christmas gifts from Vermont’s Green Mountain Spinnery! (I’m not sure why this photo insists on being turned sideways. Either think of it as an artsy photograph or, if that gives you a headache, just tilt your head to get the proper orientation.) I visited Green Mountain Spinnery last August and fell in love with all of their yarns. It was hard to walk out of there with just five skeins of Cotton Comfort (which is being made into a kimono-style sweater for Sylvia right now) and four skeins of Sylvia Spirit–I really wanted to load up the car with everything I could carry. But now I have even more of their yarn to play with–three skeins of Double Twist (Potpourri color)–and The Green Mountain Spinnery Knitting Book to give me lots of ideas!
