This was a rough week. Not only did I have a pile of assignments and such to be working on, and all the usual aches and pains, but I also managed to turn that ubiquitous back-to-school cold into a raging sinus infection. And, well, I don’t react well to antibiotics, either, so let’s just say last week was not very much fun. But! Look what came in the mail to cheer me up:
My Beaverslide Yarn! It is so soft and tweedy and sheepy-smelling and wonderful. The perfect thing to cheer up my exhausted, stuffed-up, achy, queasy, sore-throated self, no? I couldn’t resist the opportunity to play a bit more with the camera, nor the opportunity to bathe myself in the yarny goodness, so, well, here you go:
What, you mean you’ve never had the desire to roll around in yarn? Well, I did. Except I was too tired. So instead, I took a nap in it:
Ah, sweet dreams of tweedy Tomten Jackets. My feet even got in on the action:
(Note how my yarn matches my couch pillows perfectly. And is strikingly similar to the colors of my Cobblestone sweater. And my Rogue. And a few other things I’ve knit. You might say I am a wee bit obsessed with these colors. Maybe.)
I can’t wait to turn this stuff into a Tomten Jacket! But of course, I have other things that I’m working on right now, so it will have to wait for its turn in the queue…

Yay! It looks so yummy! I’ve been perusing their site a lot recently.
Sorry to hear about the sinus infection. Those are so awful :(
oooh – that looks beautiful!!! I have been staring at my color cards quite a bit lately….
Those are gorgeous colors so I’d be obsessed too! Feel better!
I don’t blame you!
And you’re not the only one who repeatedly choses those colors. Speaking of those colors, have you seen the Madelinetosh sock yarn “Ginsing”? I was very tempted to order it, but was good and held off. It’s purty though.

I love those photos of you with the yarn. So cute. And tweedy greens, yes! I swear the next yarn I get for a sweater will be tweedy greens or tans or blues. That has to be after I actually knit a sweater with what’s in my stash, though, heh.
Those are obviously your colors. They even match your blog!
Hope you’re feeling better soon!
I LOVE these photos!! Great job! (and lovely yarn too)
I love it! Hope you feel better soon. I’m an old hand at sinus infections and, ugh, I feel for you.
That yarn is so gorgeous, I can’t wait to see it knit up into a Tomten! Sorry to hear about the sinus infection, that sounds totally miserable :-/
Maybe someone could develop a yarn with eucalyptus for us, so that we could knit or nap with it, and breathe better at the same time?
Hope you are on the mend!
I was googling for knitting-related things and stumbled on your blog. At the risk of sounding creepy, you are really, really pretty in these pics (and you knit awesome things).
