I've been away, and new yarn

It's been a while since the last post; sorry, blog readers. Bob, my better half, and I went to the coast for a music festival. We heard great music and I found a yarn shop that had wonderful stuff. I bought three different combinations of new yarn, one of which is pictured here. The purple palette is for me, definitely; not sure yet who'll receive the sage and lavender or sage and pinks palettes.

I got new yarn, and oh, such a head and chest cold. It's not bird flu, but I doubt I could feel worse if it were. I'll spend today drinking tea and dozing whenever I'm not using tissues on my rubbed-raw face. Aargh. I may not even have the energy to knit!

It's a good thing I'm not communicable via the blog. I can share my pic of the new yarn, however.

Oh, and my koi fabric was waiting on the doorstep when we arrived back home! The koi/lily pad pond quilt will take even more shape, when I'm physically able to put koi in the pond!

I hope everyone's well, figuratively and literally. I've developed quite an impressive cough over the last two days, too. I can still find comfort in yarn, though.
