I'm not Santa, but I've decided that Cookie has been nice this year, so I've been working on a super-secret-super-special project for her for Christmas. There were some delays, so the project isn't as far along as I had hoped. Instead of receiving her actual item, Cookie is getting pictures of the progress.
So let's take a look at what the ladies at Purlescence Yarns and Tina from Blue Moon Fiber Arts helped me get for Cookie for Christmas:
Cookie seemed to really like the whole Sheep 2 Shoe experience I was having from start to finish, so I asked Nathania at Purlescence if there was any way we could get one in "Cookie colors". I mentioned that our blog was a good view of "Cookie colors", and she talked to Tina, and this is what Tina sent ... a whole pound of fiber for me to spin sock weight for Cookie!

Here's what the singles are looking like:
I can't wait to be able to give Cookie the finished product. Merry Christmas, Cookie!
That is going to be gorgeous! Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to you both!
Posted by: Wendie at December 25, 2006 6:17 AMOh man she is going to love it! Although I'll be intrigued to see what socks will come out of ONE POUND of spun fiber!!
Merry Christmas.
Posted by: Schrodinger at December 25, 2006 10:10 AMPretty colors!
That is one heck of a lot of fiber. :)
Posted by: Abigail at December 25, 2006 1:03 PMThis is fantastic! You and Nathania were pretty slick that night getting it out of Purlescence and into your car...while you were carpooling with Cookie!!!
Posted by: Juls at December 25, 2006 5:27 PMHow on earth did you keep this a secret from her? It looks great and I love the colors. Merry Christmas to both of you!
Posted by: Laura at December 25, 2006 5:48 PMOh, if she hasn't already, she's going to flip! That's quite the present...and she should get more than a single pair of socks out of a pound of yarn...(you must really like her!)
Posted by: G. Knerd at December 26, 2006 9:26 AMThat's so sweet of you to make her her own sock yarn!! I love the colors, they DO match the blog! :)
Posted by: Sara(h) at December 26, 2006 4:51 PMOh my...those colors fantastic! Just beautiful!!!
You are a wonderful friend. Merry Christmas to you!
