Happy Day

Birthday yarn goodness
Originally uploaded by JLW in PA

It's my birthday today, and so far it's full of yarn goodness. My kids each gave me a skein of sock yarn. They're hard to see in this photo, but I'm clutching Dream in Color Smooshy in colorways "night watch" and "spring tickle" (I've longed for spring tickle for a while now).

My Rogue sweater is on its maiden voyage today. I finished this sweater last June and it was much too warm to wear it then. This morning the thermometer was at about 40 degrees and it seemed like the perfect day to wear it. (Those begonias from a couple of days ago are withered black now, as are my tomato plants, but the mums sure look good!)

And finally, just another random pair of handknit socks on my feet. I bought this particular yarn at WEBS in Northampton, MA, a few years ago. That is such a neat store. I definitely want to go back there one day!
