A cup of coffee and a box from Artyarns

Early Monday mornings sometime find me in the shop with a cup of coffee. A couple of hours to straighten up before the 2 footer awakes. This morning I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. A big box filled with Artyarns arrived and here's what was inside...

From the top...

Handpainted Stripes... 100% Superwash Merino

A pair of socks or a hat and mittens!

Regal Silk... paired with

Beaded Silk will make a beautiful scarf!

Silk Rhapsody with or without GLITTER!

Stop in and see them in person!

How About a Little Charity?

The following is a request from a friend of Fiddlehead Yarns and has a son-in-law serving in Iraq. Please consider helping!

Hats and Frisbees For The Children of Iraq

My son-in-law, SFC Donald Floro Jr is currently serving his second tour of duty in Iraq. His twice weekly convoy drives about 35 miles across the desert. When he was hom on leave last month, he called and asked if my knitting friends could make warm winter hats for the children who run after convoy begging for treats from the American soldiers. He also requested toys.
Night time temperatures in the winter in Iraq are near the freezing point and frisbees are lightweight, so I can keep the postage costs to a minimum.

Mmmmmm...new books!

And for the icing on the cake...
