Yayyy I'm so glad it arrived and I hope it was girly enough for you. I favor all shades of green myself, and couldn't help but naturally select that color.

I can't wait to see your smoke ring! I've no idea what that is and I'm completely curious now.

ETA Ohhhh a smoke ring! I googled it and now know exactly what it is! How pretty that will be!

I googled smoke rings and all I could find were articles about the actual smoke rings people make with smoke from their mouths.

Thanks so much for taking the time to educate me on smoke rings. The one in that picture is really pretty. I have learned something new today.

 

[AK_Button_Mama]

oh I decided that this yarn was too "chucnky to make a smoke ring with so I made my self a big floppy hat that just fits my hear enuff to not crush my hair. I put it on my kids to pic it and here is my first finished MYB project. (now I am gonna get working on my first ball of MYB yarn from last time! that one will be the smoke ring its a finer gauge thread which I think will make a better ring!

anyway here it is!

BTW the model is my daughter Phoebe

OMG OMG she's gorgeous! And that hat is adorable, you knitted it! I should have sent you two skiens of that for sure. hehe lucky kids. I wish I could knit more than a washclothe.
