I’ve mentioned before that strange things can be overheard around my home when yarn arrives. A recent shipment from the Loopy Ewe was no exception given the following:
“You got a package in the mail from a crazy sheep. I’m taking a huge leap and guessing yarn.”
Hubby:”I think now is a good time to talk about my fishing budget. You won’t be able to argue because I just saw the bill.”
Me: “Not my fault. Cashmere isn’t cheap.”
Hubby: “Cashmere, shashmere. Let’s talk fish.”
“Let me know when you’re coming off your high and I’ll start the grill. I don’t want to interrupt the buzz with dinner.”
Me: Guess what they named this colorway?
Hubby: Trout?
Me: Does this look like a fish to you? It’s Paris.
Hubby: No, but it doesn’t look like Paris either. Are they running out of names?

Errrrm, lovely Stash enhancement - watch out or he will pilfer some of that Woodland to make flies…

I can just imagine the bill! But worth every penny.
Maybe your yarn is a surer investment than his fishing tackle.

Replace the subject of fishing with cigars and that would definitely be a conversation between my husband and I! haha
and Loopy Ewe? total eye candy. luckily yarn isn’t in my budget right now… otherwise I’d have to just mail them my paycheck!

Too funny. Thanks for the grin. We have a similar conversation at my house, but is more along the line of new loom equates to motorcycle!

looks just like Paris to me - springtime in Paris when all the colors become Sherbet.
now, Zoot Suit? What were they thinking? looks more like “shades of chocolate” to me. ;)

Very funny! Lovely yarn. Handmaiden cashmere! I’m really envious. Looking forward to seeing what you knit with all of it.
