Recently as I have mentioned I turned another year older... if you think about it each second of every moment we are getting older, decay decay...
To help me celebrate the occasion with more cheer my super awesome one of a kind best friend known in the land of blogs (other lands too) as Cookie made me a beautiful gift. Cause she's awesome like that as I have just stated. :p
She got a shiny new wheel for her birthday this year and she has spun me yarn on it. It's called Cherry Cola... la la la lola. (now that stupid song is stuck in my damn head AUGH!!!!)
Cherry Cola 60 Merino/30 Bamboo/10 Nylon
3.39 oz/111g
She spun it into 442 Yards in April of 2010
Chain Plyed
Of course right around the time I was taking these photos cute and fuzzy wittle TKK got interested in what I was doing and ran over to help. Cause I obviously must have looked liked I needed help to her.
You can see a cactus, cat mint, regular mint and various strawberry plants behind her.
She says she likes the yarn her Auntie Cookie made for her lots and lots. I'm not sure I have to the heart to tell her it's all mine and to get her furry paws off.
Here's a close up with the quarter shot. Cause that's what spinner photos always have in them right? o.0
I think it's a bit darker in normal light.
Love!! Thank you, sweet awesome (evil) Cookie!!!
So now I'm thinking about knitting either some cool socks or maybe one of those baktus shawl/scarf things out of it. What do you think it looks like it wants to become? :D
Well, First: Happy Birthday, KO! (Sorry, I missed the official day, if I did. I am a bit confused lately.) From the photos, it looks like you got at least one fabulous gift from a super spinning girl. Cookie does good stuff. :D I think.....socks! CCC socks. Orrrrrr, a scarf! I think it will be lovely no matter what you decide.

She's all sweet and stuff, even when she tries to hide it.

I think it wants to be something for the kitty.

Oh happy birthday! That Cookie's the best! I must admit that colorway is the best. My suggestion for the yarn is Herbivore (maybe because I want to make it too).

Belated Birthday wishes, Otter!
It might want to be a shawlette/scarfy thing. Then again, socks would be beautiful. This is a tougher choice than I thought.

A belated happy birthday to you! I would say that yarn wants to be a shawl with a floral motif of your choice.
