just what the doctor ordered

It's always a good day when I get a box of yarn in the mail.

My first yarn order from WEBS — two skeins each of Cascade EcoWool in black and grey, and one skein each of Spud & Chloë Fine, in Lizard and Popcorn. I've squooshed the Spud & Chloë before — there is 20% silk in it, so it's super soft — and I've heard really good things about it, so I'm looking forward to playing with it. I am thinking intarsia mittens.

The EcoWool is slated for the rest of the Moderne Log Cabin Blanket that I started last spring — I stopped knitting it because I ran out of yarn. I've been really cold, as I've mentioned, so a heavy wool blanket sounds heavenly right about now — especially since I am home today thanks to being utterly flattened by the flu, and straight garter stitch is about as complicated as I can handle right now.
