Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

Yay, I just scored some purple trainwreck!
Pouting big time and no, I won't go to my room :-). Is it possible to pre-order some Julie? (seeing as I'm in Oz and I always miss out because you post when I'm sleeping?) Feel sorry for me yet? :-)) I'll send chocolate as well as money!
I'm workign through the spring green, but purple train wreck will make appropriate train knitting this spring.
The purple trainwreck was available when I browsed Etsy, but I restrained myself (boy, was that hard to do!!). After all, it's time someone else got to see/try out the gorgeous shades in this yarn!
Dammit, I need to pay more attention!
