I was steeped
Asleep
Par-boiled
Rich in the
Cast iron deep
Stewed with the
Roasts of a
Thousand Sunday dinners
Not given a chance
To leap

I have never really written any poetry to speak of. It was just in my heart to write one today. I don't know what to name it.
Ooooo...yes. Do you know how lovely a 2-ply cashmere and silk blend heavy lace-weight yarn feels? Well you should. It's one of the softest yarns I have had the pleasure of pawing.
My first Hand Springs Fingerless Mitts were made from some hand-dyed by Madeline Tosh. When I was told that they would not be carrying that line of hand-dyed yarn, I looked for another indie dyer.
I found Ellie of Crazy4Dyeing on Ravelry. She agreed to buy the yarn from a supplier and hand-dye it in appealing semi-solids.
She even sent a free skein with which to work another pair of mitts and get the gauge for the pattern! I'm so pleased with this yarn. It's the same weight as the Madeline Tosh yarn I had, so I know the results will be fantastic.
Here is the colorway I chose. The color is actually in-between the two photos, but I couldn't get my color tones just right in only one photo. I really need a light tent with an Ott Light to do it justice.
