Dear Sundara,

Please stop don't stop creating all this beautiful yarn! I have the hardest time letting it mature in my stash, even for a day. Right out of the lovely package, on to the swift and winder it goes.

And the greens -- I know how you love green, but please stop don't stop dying the irresistible greens! Green Over Apricot, Spring Green Over Lemon, and now this: Lime Over Mint. It's too much, really it is.



I think there will be a Backyard Leaves scarf knitted out of these two skeins. I've used this Sport Merino yarn before, and I've been wondering when a new color would come along and tug at my sleeve.

Honestly, Sundara, you've got to stop keep dying these glorious yarns.

Is it nap time yet? Probably too late for one now...wish I'd thought about it sooner! It's going to be hectic at the bookstore for the next five days, and I have hemming and packing to do for my trip to Chicago next week. My niece Rachel, the recipient of the Monkey socks, will be graduating from college. I am tremendously proud of her, and I can't wait to see her receive her diploma.

And then there's the matter of my birthday. I had to schedule myself to work on Saturday, but who wants to work on their birthday? Maybe I can slip out at noon. What kind of cake do I want? That is the next question.

Edit: When I posted this, I noticed that the extraordinary greens of this Lime Over Mint yarn seem to be missing from the photographs. Annabelle says she ate them, but I think it was more likely due to the camera's inability to capture perfection. Perfection, I tell you.
