Fibre Space Party!!! Very tinsel. Acquired Lollipop yarns in the movers and shakers colorway. Lea Ann’s Lollipop is in the vintage vibe colorway. Also bought Shelter in World Almanac and Long Johns, and Neighborhood Fibers studio sport in the Charles Centre colorway. Also Dragonfly Traveler in Bad moon Rising. Lea Ann has a neighborhood fibers kit. So many punis!!! I also couldn’t resist the obligatory box of chocolates from Gourmet stash--fibery tribles in salted caramel, mint truffle and raspberry creme.
