Still, we couldn't just leave it there - who knows what yarns it had spun ? What tales it could tell ?

Green Wristlets

This is some fabulous handspun and hand dyed yarn that I finally discovered in one of the suitcases right at the back of the cupboard and of course it had to be knitted up into my very favorite pattern for the wristlets.
