Away Goes A Gift

I finished the Moc-A-Socs.  They are so cute that I think I may need insulin.

Time to drop them in the mail.  Although I am very excited about giving my very first handmade baby gift to my cousins, it’s always a little hard to send something you’ve made away.  At least at Christmas gatherings I get to see people open what I worked so hard on so the separation anxiety is eased a little.  But when you put them in the mailbox, you just have to hope that they arrive and imagine that they are pleased.

To ease the pain, I bought The Sheep Shawl pattern with the intention of buying the yarn in a month or two as a summer project.  Then I saw this–

Ladyslipper Zephyr

on a shelf at The Woolie Ewe.  They didn’t have any Jaggerspun Zephyr Wool-Silk 2/18 the last time I was there.  What a lovely surprise.  Poor Linnea had to watch me debate yarn colors for at least fifteen minutes.  Since this was the yarn I was going to buy eventually, I decided to make then be now.  Seize the yarn!
