Manos del Uruguay

This is so exciting! My parents took me to a wool store yesterday and my brother bought this for me for my birthday. It’s so beautiful. 100% wool (a blend of Corriedale and Merino) by Manos del Uruguay in the Multi Mar colourway. I’ve always wanted to use the word “colourway” in a blog entry. I’m going to make this into a hat for my aunt.
My parents showed up at around 2 in the afternoon. We played a bunch of fooz; I got to pretend that I was really good at it and taught them how to play. My mom says fooz is harder to play than soccer.
After fooz, we ate some delicious home-made cheesecake (cheesecake!) and then went out wool shopping. Les came along because he wanted to head out to the Riocan, but then he grumbled the whole time about how long I’d taken in the wool store. (It was a wool store! If we’d been in a Jacques Villeneuve store, he would have spent just as long there.) We dropped him off at 7 and went to Frankie Pesto’s (which was delicious) and then home for more cake. My brother and I played Donkey Kong! It was a pretty great day.
wow..for years I have wished people would buy me paint, or yarn or brushes for gifts. I truely would prefer that over jewelry.

This was the first time I received something like that; it was fantastic!
