Happy Monday! What's new this week at SSYC?

And we're back at it here at SSYC after a lovely few days off with my. It really was nice to see my extended family all together for Christmas this year, since we did not last year b/c of the pandemic. This year we are all vaccinated and feel better about getting together and not spreading things, and it showed in what a great time we had together. My sister and I love watching White Christmas whenever we are together, and we all ate tons of great food, played cards (Euchre here in Indiana), board games, and just laughed a lot. It was great to see everyone.

Now I'm back at work (though alone today as my staff is still taking a nice break) and getting lots of things together for you this week. Life in the Long Grass and Hedgehog Fibres both arrived from Ireland, so I just need to get those photographed and up for you, and new Opal Yarn collections arrived from Germany - XL Ice Palace (a worsted weight option!), Paradise, Schafpate 13 (here's an overview of that project), and Memories, all shown here for you. Some should arrive today and some later this week, so I'm hoping to have them all up for you by Friday. I can't wait! My knitting mojo needs a good Opal color infusion - I'm really eyeing the green in the Schafpate collection below....

Past this week, well, I just can't think that far.... I'm giving up coffee for a bit, so my mind is rebelling. I know we will have Arroyo KAL ideas, some sock sets and hat sets for you.... but past that I just can't even think. OH! Here's a tease of our Valentine sock set we'll be doing with Dream in Color late this month. I adore it. I'll share more as I get my head together and get things photographed. 

OK, truth be told I'm also eyeing at least four of the above Memories colors. And the PO JUST DELIVERED FOUR HUGE BOXES (so big they barely made it through the door) of this one minute ago. We're still waiting for the rest to get through Customs though.

Such a happy yarn delivery day!

Wow!!!!! I think I might buy enough of that worsted weight Opal to knit myself a cardigan (& matching socks?). I adore the DIC yarn for the Valentines kit. And that Opal Memories collection is fantastic. I may have to buy all of them. But at least 11001, 11003, 11004, 11005, - nope. I think I’ll have to buy all of them.
