I knew I could relate to my Santa when she described my new yarn that way. And it's true. It's super silky soft, and vividly colored. I am VERY excited to dive into this!

AND ALSO, my Santa managed to notice one of the few pieces of information I neglected to mention in my novel of a likes/dislikes list: that several of my goals (clothing and such) would be better met with knitting than with the crochet I know how to do. Now I've finally got a good start to learning to knit! Instructions and all kinds of fancy gadgets! This time I know I'll crack it.

Thanks Aridawn! :-D
