Thank you to everyone for your kind words on the passing of Jim's mom. We both appreciate it so much, and I am in the process of responding to each of you. Thank you all again!
And now for something completely different, how about some yarn therapy??
Here is what I just bought from Little Knits just now - Dream in Color Classy in "Shiny Moss". I have never tried the Dream in Color yarns and I figured now was as good a time as any, when it's on sale for $15ish a skein. I bought four.

Pretty color! I saw some Dream in Color yarn at Stitches on Saturday. Very soft & cozy stuff!

That will be an awesome color on you!

Can't wait to see what you make with this! I liked working with it on my shrug, and I'm going to use it for some armwarmers from Knitscene when I get a chance.
I hope Jim and his dad are doing OK under the circumstances. So hard.

You will love DIC Classy. I am a huge fan of it as well as DIC Smooshy. I have that color in Smooshy. It's gorgeous!

I love that green - I've used Dream in Color a few times and have really enjoyed it!

I've gotten some Dream in Color sock yarn, and I like it a lot. Very pretty colors and a nice feel to the yarn. I'm sure you'll enjoy knitting with it.

I have Dream in color envy! The yarn is so beautiful with its subtle, variegated dyes, and so soft! I hope you have a wonderful time knitting with it, and that it is consoling to you.

I'm so sorry to hear about Jim's mom. I'm thinking of you and your family.
