good husband
So my husband was in Detroit last week and mentioned they had a yarn store across the street from his work. I promptly looked them up on the web, and found out they carried Diakato yarns.
So I sent him in and he called me and I told him I wanted Diakato Diamusee and he would simply have to make the color selection. As if by miracle he selected the perfect color for me and also very much in vogue right now, very faded and earthy tones, not too much color.
I also said "pick me up 1 small surprise" well by that I meant stitch markers or something. Instead I got 1 ball of yarn, some how also by miracle 200 yards which means I can make something out of it. I got Filatura di Crosa Multicolor Mohair. It's nearly worsted gauge so 200 yards could probably get me a very pretty thin and long lacy scarf!
Is it just me or does my yarn have a belly button??
And while my husband was away I ordered TiVO which has been amazingly hard to set up! I should be editing my podcast and not desperately trying to record "The Girls Next Door" on E!.

Wow! What a great guy. The yarn color is gorgeous and I absolutely am in love with that mohair. I bet it is much more stunning than the picture shows even though the picture you took was great!
Thanks for sharing

What a sweet hubby! Was it City Knits in the Fisher Building that he went to? If you ever make it to Detroit with him you'll have to look me up, I live about 30-40 minutes south of Detroit. :)

You are a very lucky girl! It's like pulling teeth to get my boyfriend into a yarn store :) He did a great job, the colors are very pretty.

TiVo Rocks. It's all about managing season passes. Search for your favorite shows, have them record automagically, and watch whenever you have the time and inclination.
Oh, and I just processed some shetland wool recently. I just let the washer spin it out for me. And it worked excellently... a friend of mine has a drum carder and let me harrass her and use it to process it, and the alpaca fleece I bought recently. :)
Enjoy both! :D

A man not only not afraid of going into a yarn store alone, but also unafraid of picking out a color. Keeper.
