This luscious yarn arrived in the mail yesterday. Handpainted from Painted Skeins in the most perfectly beautiful autumnal colors.
It came to me courtesy of KnitMap, a great new site that's basically an interactive map of LYS's all over the world. You can use it to post reviews and, if you're planning a trip, find a yarn store anywhere you happen to be going. It's a fantastic resource and very well designed.
And as if that weren't enough, Stacy, whose brainchild this was, holds weekly raffles for users - and, out of the blue, I was one of last week's three winners.
Now, I would be recommending KnitMap eagerly in any case. But in this rosy "Afterglow" (that's the name of the colorway), which bathes the site in a downright romantic haze, I feel impelled to send everyone I know there, and to spend hours there myself, in sheer gratitude.
Hours, that is, when I'm not knitting socks.

ooh, thanks for the info. I've signed up too. Perhaps a little unlikely that i will be so lucky, but why not. Lightning often strikes in the same place twice. Probably.
love your handspun yarn...
Congrats on your score! Glad to see the karma works. -from someone who won some Jitterbug from you a few months back. :)
Terrific! I'm so glad that it arrrived. That colorway was especially hard to give away, it was one of my favorites. But then again, I haven't found a Painted Skeins yet that I haven't liked!
Thanks again for trying out KnitMap!
