On the first Thursday of every month, our local yarn shop, Hill Country Weavers, has a sale. Every sale has a theme. One time it was any 100% animal fiber. Another time, it was any yarn that had a seven in the price. One time it was all pink yarn. Some may call it quirky. I just call it good marketing!

Yesterday, the sale was on all solid color yarn. I’ve been wanting to knit Mr. Greenjeans for a while. I love to look at fancy cabled sweaters and I am intrigued by sweaters with unique constructions. But the truth is that I just want to wear simple designs. My normal uniform is jeans and a T-shirt. I really don’t even like collars. So Mr. Greenjeans seems like a good fit, excuse the pun, for me.

I came home from the sale with enough Ultra Alpaca to make the sweater. Blue, to go my uniform.

On another note, I’ve taken the Handmade Pledge for the holidays. Take a look at the pledge and join in, there’s a button in the sidebar.

With that in mind, I hope that some of you drink tea.
