Sometimes ordering from Etsy is like sending yourself a present.  I’m knitting scarves for my husband and me to wear this fall on a trip to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and this is how my yarn arrived.  Isn’t it great?!  It’s simple, but so well presented and coordinated that twine, tissue paper, tags and a tiny skein of  beautiful, gifted yarn look so festive!  If you’d like to order some of your own, this is from Marigold Jen.

Here’s how our scarves look so far:

(Mine still needs a little work.)

The yarn for my husband’s scarf is from Black Sheep Dyeworks and was so wonderful to work with that I already ordered another skein — for a project I may tell you about in October.  (<~~Foreshadowing!)

If you’re a knitter, I recommend these great shops!
