Lucky Yarn Day

A couple of weeks ago, I won a contest on Jessie's blog, she of Yarntini fame. Today, my prize arrived and made my day. It's so pretty, squishy, beautiful. I've never had Yarntini before, but I have already added my name to her mailing list--I want to get in on the next update.

Here's the specs:
And the colorway is Pomtini, and I love it.
And then, as if the above was not enough, my husband insisted (no, really!) on taking me to Loops and buying me some sock yarn. And this was after treating me to lunch at The Local Table, which was delicious.

I chose this Koigu, which I think represents a bit of a variation from my usual color zone. I thought it was pretty and unusual, and it put me in mind of autumn.
It's really very pretty, but the colors are hard to capture accurately. It's a blend of purples with lots of dark tones mixed with occasional streaks of deep rose and slate blue.
Hope your weekend is going well, and includes new yarn!
