First I'd like to apologize for not uploading the images sooner. I have a 13 year old son who had the weekend to complete a science project, a lit paper, and some make up homework due to recent illness. I got the yarn and absolutely loved it but was so busy with helping him that I just didn't have the time to post the thank you/received properly.

So, I love Knit Picks! Brava is one of my absolute favorites that they have. I love to make plushies from them, and blankets from them. I mentioned that, along with my love for teals, in the gift exchange info section.

Shortly thereafter I got a message from my lovely yarn exchange lady asking if I would destroy the invoice that came in the box because Knit Picks doesn't have a "gift shipment" option (I should email them and say that they need it and why!)... my first reaction was "that's not nice of Knit Picks, they should fix that" then "oh no, they have some personal information on it", you know, and on down the line. I had my husband destroy it, and it was burned in the fireplace. None of that info will be going anywhere, secret yarn gifting lady! I assure you it isn't a phoenix and cannot be reborn from the ashes.

Then it sinks in. She said Knit Picks. I love Knit Picks. There was some silly happy dancing in the house that day as I briefly contemplated the colors and options, and the box that would soon show up on my door step.

So, as per the normal USPS shenanigans, they always deliver the mail the moment I'm leaving the house to pick up my son from school. So I pet the box like any good yarn addict, put it down on my couch and went about my daily business. When I get my son in the car he springs all of this work he'd been putting off doing, and now it's stacked with making up work from being ill. Ugh. So I come home and didn't have time to open the box until very late that evening. There was much oohing and aahing and squealing as I opened the box. Oh my goodness! Look at those colors, so pretty! They look so nice together and remind me so much of the ocean that I may just have to make a project designed around these colors - like a pretty wavy blanket or throw, or maybe one of those big 8 point star blankets or something like that (oh! and and excuse to order more of them, of course!).

I wanted to say thank you. The colors are very pretty! I love them very much, and despite the fact that I LOVE these colors I had never ordered any. I only recently discovered Knit Picks, and when I've ordered Brava in the past it's always been for a planned project (commission work normally) so I only order what I need for the project. I've been eying Marina and Tidepool for a while now, I don't know if I would have bought Tranquil or not but I'm so glad that you did. I love it! It almost reminds me of mint but not quite, and it's so very lovely. It's like a tropical mint or something.

TL:DR - I vanquished the shipping information, it won't come back like I phoenix (I promise), I got the most GORGEOUS teals I've ever seen, it's Knit Picks Brava (you know, the lusciously soft and delicious acrylic that's amazing and wonderful to work with) and I danced and squeed like a little kid. Thank you! I love them all, I feel spoiled, and oh god I love them all!
