Recent Acquisitions
I was up in Kelowna last weekend and I popped in to their lovely yarn shop. Art of Yarn. It’s a lovely shop with many yarns quite suitable to a yarn snob such as myself. Of course I was immediately drawn to the Madelinetosh rack, it’s really become quite the obsession. I have collected a stunning little bin of the stuff and I have many fantastical plans for each pretty skein. When I was in Kelowna I picked up a skein of the Tosh Merino Light after being a bit smitten with Ann’s picture of it here. It just looked so shiny and nice!
The other purchase I made was 2 skeins of T-shirt yarn from Be Sweet. I think I will make a little top for Miss Hunter out of it. It does seem a bit funny to make a shirt out of recycled shirt yarn but I think it will be pretty cool none the less.

I know, I have a serious madelinetosh thing right now, too. And did you see Stefanie Japel’s crazy t-shirt yarn shrug?
