My favorite Aunt did something wonderful this year. Instead of trying to find something I didn’t already have and would love for Christmas, she did something genius. She wrote a letter and tucked in some cash, with one rule. Rule: Spend it on something personal and luxurious! It was something she had always wanted to do and would have loved herself at my stage of life.
I knew right away it would be yarn. And deep down in my knitters soul I knew what I wanted….beautiful gradient sock yarn. I’ve been honing my sock skills this past year. And I’ve always wanted badly to work with gradient color. I went to my favorite Etsy store for gradients: Knitcircus Yarns! I’ve drooled over their yarn forever but couldn’t justify spending that on myself.
I chose carefully…Over The Rainbow custom gradient matching sock yarn. My little knitter hands CANNOT wait to get my hands on this. I had a mini panic attack as this is the most I’ve ever paid for yarn. But I’m worth it…I hope!
Stay tuned and I’ll hope to do something very magical with it. Happy knitting to all!

Can’t wait to see it!
Drool… what a great gift.
Oooooh, can’t wait to see it!! What an awesome gift!!
Totally jealous (even though I got 12 skeins of yarn for Christmas)
Wow, I followed the link to that yarn and it is so luxurious. What a wonderful gift from your Aunt. Enjoy 🙂
Oh, that’s a wonderful gift. You have a great aunt!
That’s wonderful! I am glad that you listened to your aunt and did what she told you!
oooh! jealous! my sister always gets me yarn for Christmas, with at least one of them earmarked for me to make something for her. lol
What a future treat for your feet! And excellent use of your gift 🙂
Oh, wow, what a great Etsy shop…dangerous! Such a wonderful gift from your Aunt. Have fun!
Ahhhhh, bliss. Of COURSE it was going to be yarn. Enjoy.
That’s a great way to spend the money. I feel the same way in that I’d love love love to work with some gradient sock yarn, but it is usually hard to justify these purchases. Enjoy your yarn and I’m looking forward to see what you’ll make with it.
Knit Circus AND rainbows? Way jealous!
Lucky you! Can’t wait to see what you make 🙂
Oh, that’s a good auntie!
I have been coveting KnitCircus’s gradient yarns for a while now. Jaala does such a great job with those. So pretty!
I bought myself two skeins of Knitcircus last spring at Yarncon Chicago, and still haven’t made socks with them because I was too busy doing other things. Of course, now that it is freezing out, I’m regretting it! 🙂 (I got a Greatest of Ease in Ruby and two cakes of Merino Tencel in Holly Leaves.)
Oooh, good for you! That will make some fabulous socks, and I bet you’ll have a great time making them, too.
Enjoy! What a nice aunt. Those will always be special socks.
