We are back home after a holiday down south.
 Our version of what Norwegians refer to as "syden."

 It also comes in prints. I have three in mind that I am going to purchase.

You can find this yarn beautiful, soft, and airy yarn by clicking here.

A cuddly and squishy dream cushion?
or
Maybe a bag?

Any ideas?


Stay tuned for a suspenseful decision...
