I met Miss Babs...

I met Miss Babs this weekend.  Yes.  That Miss Babs!

 

I think she might have been glad she met me, too.

 

I'm dreaming of this, and this, and maybe making another pair of these---in cashmere this time!  I can't begin to tell you the wooly wonderfulness of it all.  The last time our 'paths' crossed (although the lovely lady herself wasn't present) was this summer at SSK.  I came home with the yarn for my hitofude and for spectral.  They are both finished.  They are both loved.  How could I miss another opportunity for stash-enhancement?  (especially since one of those skeins cost me a mere $4.00!!!  I have frequent buyers cards all over the country!!)

 

It was a lovely day, shared with friends.  We did a little Christmas shopping, I had one of the best grilled portobello sandwiches e-v-e-r!!, and  I came home to discover...

 

a gift from a dear friend, straight from the Santa Fe International Folk Museum (one of my favorite funky museums in the world!!!).

 

I've named her Miss Babs.

Now that's a sheep I wouldn't mind in the garden. Or in the house for that matter.
The colours of your yarn are just gorgeous!

I'm so glad you had a fun Steph. Now I need to check out who Miss Babs is, someone I should know?
Cutie, cute sheep.

I'm such a sucker for beautiful green yarns <3 Absolutely gorgeous skeins you have there!

you are so lucky (do I right that a lot?) I would die and go to heaven! Love the colors you picked. I also love your present :)

Glad you got some stash. I was worried you might be running low.

Miss Babs is the PERFECT name for your new friend.

gorgeous yarn. And your new Miss Babs is super cute!

So nice to catch up with you, Steph, as I've been offline a bit. LOVE the Miss Babs... *drool*... LOL... I've been wanting to try knitting with some of that. LOVELY colors in that bunch. FUN ideas for you knitting inspiration. LOVE the wooly sheep--too cute!! And her name is perfect! My hook is taking a backseat at the moment. We're getting ready to travel in a few days to share Thanksgiving in the US with my family. With holidays approaching, I'm also making a departure from blogland... But I'll still be around... ;o) Happy Holidays to you & yours ((HUGS))
