Ms. Snarky Delivers!

Delayed gratification. It’s the difference between a two-year-old and a grownup. [Well, that and the ability to reach up and turn the doorknob.]



This was my desk at work, with a stack of mail waiting to be opened, and the box from Snarky Designs with my November Sockdown prize yarn. See how good I was being? Don’t you just love my first attempts at airbrushing?



And this is the yarn itself.



Would you like a closeup?



How good is this yarn? Well, if I had a firstborn male child, I’d cut airholes in the box and send him back to her with a note saying, “More yarn, please!” The wool fumes kept me happily awake all afternoon.

Very pretty yarn. You make it hard to be good and not run over and buy more yarn

Whew, thank goodness you only have daughters! I'd kind of miss you if you sold any of my sisters. Of course it would be one of them because I am the good one. :P
