I promised Alissa that I'd post this photo

She wanted to know how the yarn from Mystical Yarns looked in real life, and I have one word for that: FAAAAABULOUS. I haven't tried to knit any of it yet; I've been to busy fondling it. The green yarn is a silk/wool blend, and you know how beetles' shells are all iridescent? That's what this yarn is like. It reflects light beautifully, and the colors almost glow. I think I'm going to make a hat from this; the colors will be lovely next to anyone's eyes.
The yarn in the back is a cotton chenille in shades of blue and purple. I've never knitted with chenille before, so I'm looking forward to the challenge. I have zero idea of what I'm mking with that, either.
