IT CAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luckily it was while I was busy making lunch, otherwise I might have attacked our mailman.  You have no IDEA how exciting new yarn is after almost two years. The resupply for chemo caps: which it would be nice to not really need, but sadly, the only way to stop from having friends get cancer is to stop having friends.  Next best thing:  Be Prepared! And the "splurge" for me: a linen & cotton blend laceweight.  I was just thinking a white shawl would be very handy to have, so that's what this will be.  I would have cast on for the shawl as soon as the box arrived, but the current lace shawl just has 6 pattern repeats and 20 rows of garter for the border to go, so I am obsessed with it.  A finished knitting project--won't that just be a shock around here? It was a big day for me with the mail.  The next ornament kit arrived,  and these are thankfully a bit different than the bead & sequined ones of the last few shipments....
