I learned today that sheep not only produce wonderful wool for yarn, but they also make excellent foster parents.

Here’s a video about Themba, the elephant orphan, and Albert, the merino sheep who is looking after him.

What a cute story!

I have been an Essie Addict since I was 12 and you couldn’t pay me to put anything else on my nails. Their polishes are high quality and they always release ultra flattering colors.I also love all things Stitch-Inspired so I nearly squealed when I saw the names of the new Essie Fall 2010 Nail Colors. Here they are:

In Stitches

Limited Addiction

Little Brown Dress

Merino Cool

Sew Psyched

Velvet Voyeur

My favorite is In Stitches. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to treat yourself to a manicure, I think you just found it!

From angelschest, this Yarn Barn Project Organizer is one of the most brilliant ways I’ve seen to manage all those different lengths of yarn when knitting an ambitious intarsia sweater or making striped projects. As someone who loves all color work knitting, this caught my attention immediately. It is made with care and they can stain it in any finish you like, as a special request. I am putting this on my wish list!

From PancakeAndLulu, this SNOW Mohair- Natural Mohair Yarn is luscious and all natural. It is undyed and unbleached. I think this yarn would make the coziest lace neck warmer! For those intimidated by mohair, try holding it together with a strand of merino wool to add extra softness and a pretty halo without the stress. At $9 for 120yds, this yarn is worth every penny. It’s so dreamy!
