Opal Yarn, Fairies & Elves

Another anticipated collection from Opal has arrived, and when we opened the boxes of this yesterday, we agreed that the colors of this one were some of the nicest we'd seen.  Yes, the colors in the Van Gogh collection were awesome, but I can say that I'd be happy to knit any of the colors of this newest collection.  They are all quite nice.

Now, the pictures of the fairies above are quite another thing.  I imagine a 14-year-old anime addict dreamt up the images that are strewn throughout this poster.  If you were to see the full sized poster in person like we have on display in the store, you'd likely tell that fairie in the upper left to cover her bum. No one needs to see that much of your rear when selling sock yarn!  If you're coming to the store tomorrow or this Tuesday for showroom hours, you can tell me if you agree.

The fairies are a bit much -maybe you can use some flower or spring time stickers to "censor" them. It would especially good to cover them up for women who bring their children with them. And good for you for speaking up!! Not many do anymore.

Will you be getting the Opal Handwork and Hobby or Show your Colors collections in?

Someone in Europe sent me "Gardener" from Handwork and Hobbies and I loved it. The series is really interesting.

It's surprising Opal doesn't know that sock knitters are in it for the yarn. We don't need anything except a pretty, detailed picture of the skein! 5521 and 5522 seem especially pretty to me.

Received the two skeins I ordered yesterday. I can totally overlook the bare-bum fairy on the poster because the colors in the actual YARN are so fantastic. As Bonnie said, all we really care about is the yarn and what it looks like.
