Dear Self,
I've been concerned -- is everything OK? Are you feeling well? Are you full of vim and vigor? I visited you during the night while you were asleep and saw black and blue marks on your arms.
Write to me, I'm worried.
Love,
Yarnista

Dear Self,
Thanks for writing back, I know you're busy, but it certainly makes me feel better to know that the black and blue marks are just dye stains. I have been wondering why they're only on your forearms -- wouldn't your hands get stained with dye too?
Why haven't you been blogging much lately? I miss you!
TTYS,
Yarnista

Self,
Ahhhhh, I see. The marks on your forearms are where your gloves stop. I get it. Phew!
From the sounds of things, you've been busy, yes? What have you been up to other than working?

P.S. Maybe you should get those shoulder-length gloves. Then you won't worry people with the bruises when you go out in public.

Hi Self,
Wow, I just saw these, and I have to say... these are pretty nifty. Like nifty for real for real.
That's how all the youngsters are speaking these days, FYI. But keep that on the down low.
Hope you don't mind, but I took all your samples of these colorways. They whispered that they wanted to live with me instead of down there at the cold, lonely, colorless studio.

Self!
Where are you?! Seriously, I've been trying to reach you! CALL ME BACK!

Self,
I stopped by the studio last night at 11:37 pm, and was super excited to see these:
Are you sure I can't have just ONE teeny tiny skein for me? JUST ONE? PLEASE????
I'll be your best friend.
I'll buy you a latte.
WHY NOT?
I'm like The Temptations, I Ain't Too Proud To Beg!

Dear Self,
Now I need the smelling salts. When I stopped by the studio this morning at 4:36 am, I saw this:
and this:
AND THIS!!!!!!
I think I need to lie down. For real for real. Who are you sending all this yarn to? Is this where you've been? Do you know CPR?
Also, there were a lot of colorways in the studio this morning when I stopped by at 4:36 am that I did not recognize. You have some explaining to do. Has the studio been taken over by ninjas who are churning out new colorways night and day?
I knew you were up to something...
WRITE ME BACK!

And I thought the yarnninjas were coming on a secret mission to liberate the yarn, not to make it!
Oh, did I say how much I love your work! Love love love!
Lots of sock summit yarns? Colorways that no one has seen? This is almost too much to handle!!
Oooh! Oooh! I wasn't even thinking of the Sock Summit colorways until later this month! Plus surprising new colorways--I don't what I'm going to do with myself with all this excitement!
And Ellen, I bet Sharon could use some yarnninjas to help her with all that dyeing! :-)
When?!! When?!!
Oh my gosh, Sock Summit colorways!! You have no idea how much this perked up my morning.
Oooohhhh goodie goodie goodie!!!
Heavens, are those beautiful colors! But even still, I like the Georgia Peach the best, and am glad that it will shortly arrive in my mailbox. You surely have outdone yourself lately. You get better and better with the color design. I'll bet that I still like your throw-aways, though.
Woo hoo! I'd almost forgotten I'd ordered some of this! This is exactly what I need to perk things up around here. Fall has finally arrived for real and I can't wait for some of that lovely yarn to wing its way to me.
Also, that first green skein is a thing of beauty. You do such lovely work.
Oooh please please please let there be a Sea Anemone for me...but I love the new colorways too! More info, more info!
Is Janine the Yarninja? I would be so happy if she is. I have missed you too.
Do women still swoon? I think that I am officially swooning; heart is beating so fast, hands are starting to perspire....please postal service...don't be slow this month.....
So happy to see you blogging again. So sorry that you are up all night with yarn, well kind of sorry.....
Women will still swoon as long as there are things worth swooning over, and new yarn is definitely one of them.
I think I need to start signing all my messages "With love from Janine the Yarninja."
Drool, drool.....Is it time to stalk the mailman yet? This is indeed a wonderful way to begin a new month.
PS I knew you didn't sleep. ;-)
Can't wait to get my Georgia Peach! I thought Sea Anemone was no longer available. Does the picture mean there will be more?
I.Can't.WAIT!!! Georgia is Peachy!
this yarn is beyond drool-worthy. i want each and every colorway, but oh my goodness, father time!
Your yarn is beautiful! I'm going to be adding you to my sidebar and checking back often. So gorgeous! I think I just got some drool on the keyboard ;)
I would like to make a pair of socks for my husband. I've made tons of women't socks, but not men's yet. He's a physician in the ED, so he lives in Dansko clogs. We live in Mass, so the weather is about to turn COLD and i'd love to make him an awesome pair of socks that aren't too bulky, but will also help with feet sweating and keep them warm all at once. I LOVE the Father Time colorway...how much should I purchase for a size 11 men's pair of socks? Thanks!
What happened to Zephyr??? Did he not come to visit???
