Yarn Delivered!

The yarn for my Ravenclaw House Quidditch Sweater arrived on Monday! I had it delivered to me at work, since there is no one here during the day to sign for a package delivery. My co-workers were more excited about me opening the box and looking at the yarn than I was. I ordered Wool of the Andes from Knit Picks and I am using the colors Winter Night (a deep royal blue) and Maple Syrup (a warm reddish brown). I wasn't sure about the colors when I first saw them, but the flourescent light at work did not show them at their best, they look much better in natural light. I also knit a stripe of brown into my swatch to see the colors combined and it looks like they will work well together. I'll post pictures of the swatch tomorrow, I really like they way the K2P2 pattern is looking with this yarn and these colors. I am happy with my gauge and will probably be casting on the back tonight.

FYI...this was my first time ordering yarn online. I placed the order on August 1st and it was delivered on the 8th. I will most likely order from them again and maybe try the other sites that have been suggested. I mean I do have so very little yarn on hand....lol!
