I didn’t sign up for Flash Your Stash because honestly, I’m too damn lazy to organize it all for pictures. Plus, you’ve seen most of my new stuff anyway. But you haven’t seen this!
Oooooh. Ahhhhhhh. KOIGU! The best thing about working in a yarn shop has to be opening up two boxes of something like Koigu and being the first one to pick what you want before anyone else even sees it. One of the owners gave me two skeins for my birthday and after we checked it all in yesterday she told me, “Okay, you can go shopping now! I hid that color you liked at the bottom.” What could possibly be better than having first dibs on 300+ skeins of Koigu? I’m thinking there’s not much. (And for anyone local? Don’t go looking for it yet or even ask for it or I’ll get my head chopped off. It’s not out. We need to find space in which to put it. I’ll let you know when it’s ready.) I think this Koigu is amazing. It was so hard to get a picture to justify the true beauty of the colorway. I can’t wait to make some socks with it.
The girls at the shop showered me with Birthday love when I got there yesterday. Look.
The chocolate bar is so funny. Here’s a close-up.
There’s also a Gift Certificate in there too. I don’t know if a girl could be any more showered with love on her birthday. Thank you again to each and every one of you.
Time to get motivated. T. is on his way to a bike race and I’m taking the kids to meet some friends for breakfast and a hike. Have a great weekend!

WOW. That is a gorgeous Koigu colorway - and one that I’ve never seen. The employees must always buy that one before it gets put out!
Hee hee - fabulous chocolate bar!
Ya spread the love, Scout, it comes back you you tenfold. *hug*
Ohh, I’m going to have to wipe the drool of my chin. Wait. There. Ok. Great yarn.
Clever candy bar!! xx
You WERE showered with love. And much deserved, too. Koigu really never does disappoint, does it?
Omg you got Koigu! Man, you SUCK! Ok not really but..no FAIR. No fair no fair no fair! :ppppp You will have the K out on display in, say, 2 weeks, yes? Just in time for my yarn diet to be over? hmm? I used to joke with Cody about this “kult of koigu” and now I’m a member.
You might have to hide that yarn from Noelle. I’m glad the girls
gave you nutritious and delicious snacks for your birthday!
Watch out for the rain today. I just got soaked.
Koigu… Mmmmm
What great gifts! Gotta love the Koigu.
That Koigu is STUNNING. Makes me want to get in the car, drive to NM, and wait until you put it out on the floor. Seriously.
Good choice on the Koigu - and to have first dibs! Woowee!
Just let me know when it’s ready and I’ll buy a plane ticket :).
nice koigu! I am using it for the first time and I like it.
Love the Koigu colourway; it will be neat to see how it knits up. Love your birthday presents; someone definitely likkes you!! I like the idea of that balanced meal - perfect! I am still laughing. HOpe you had a great birthday!
I love the tree yarn, and the chocolate. That’s my kinda chocolate.
Darn - I was hoping for some stash-flashing, but that Koigu was a good substitute. If I had to choose from 300 skeins I’d probably pass out
Happy birthday!
ooooohhhh…I’ve never even felt Koigu (how sad is THAT, eh?) Beautiful colors!!!
That chocolate bar is too funny!
Koigu and a nice meal…what else does a grrl need;-)
OH MY DOG, those are the perfect colors.
LOVELY
JWW
Nice kogiu and love the chocolate bar!
That koigu! YOW.
And the chocolate bar? Right up my alley. Wish I had some for tomorrow!
Koigu…yuummmm
That’s so sweet! And working in a yarn shop that carries Koigu! *jealous* There’s only one store around here that has it, and I barely ever go there.
Hi, I love your clock! I went to the website, but it’s in Japanese!
Any advice on how to get it? I notice that it is copywrited.
Thanks!
Oh the Koigu yarn is beautiful. Nice to have it in the collection!
I like how you displayed the yarn in a tree branch!
Happy happy birthday! What fabulous yarn!!
I love your yarn-in-a-tree photos–I feel like I’m watching the Discovery Channel. Stalking the yarn in its natural habitat! If that guy at exploding dog does your drawing, you’ll have to let us know which one it is!
you are obviously well loved, showered with beautiful and delicious gifts. what patterns are you considering for that koigu?
OMG! I would just about kill for that colorway! It is all my favorite colors and colors I wear often too! *drooooool*
ohhhhhhhhhhhh that koigu! i’ve never actually seen koigu in person and would probably get in trouble for touching it if i ever did come into contact with it - that’s a dangerous/terrific job you’ve got, girlie!
Wow–great gifts! I’d love some of that Koigu colorway. Is there more?
no fair, I need to talk my boss into carrying Koigu!
