Audine Wools Chill is a unbelievably soft worsted weight blend.  Each yummy skein contains just a touch of cashmere you just can't miss in each squeeze.  Pared with 90% Suri Alpaca that makes this blend just perfect. Honestly feels like 100% Cashmere.  Each crate came with 2 skeins, 150 yards each. Each Skein retails for $32.00 and the crate cost is $29.99 per month.  I'd say that's a significant savings!  

I received the color "Water's Like Me, It's Lazy".  It's the most gorgeous deep blue.  Mmmmm.  I'm truly in love with it.  As always, it includes a pattern for knitters and crocheters.  I may actually make the cowl pattern that came with it, although my first pick for yummy skeins like this is always a new pair of TOAST mitts.  Hmmmm.  Decisions, decisions.

We headed out to Bozeman, Montana to see my son Charlie this week and I decided to pack this cute project.  I thought this yarn would be perfect for a baby girl.  A super wash merino with a bit of tinsel will be perfect for the mama.  It feels amazing and the colors are sweet.  Yet,  I'm not sure the yarn is the best choice for this pattern.  A solid would definitely show the details of the pattern a lot better.  Nevertheless, I'm sticking with it since it's all I packed!

I throw them on when I'm wearing a t-shirt or a sweater and need just an extra something to warm my body.

I throw them on with a coat to pull over my fingers when I'm walking or driving.  They add a little extra when the steering wheel is too cold.  

There truly isn't a time I don't wear them.  

The yarn I used in my latest batch of TOAST was from my November Knitcrate.  I was thrilled when my box arrived knowing immediately that the yarn inside must be TOAST mitts. (That's the beauty of having stash!)  I knew they would be a tiny bit short of the 11" that the pattern calls for, but that would be fine.  These measure almost 10".  To make sure I would have the same amount per mitt, I used my kitchen scale.  Everyone always talks about using their scale, so I finally felt like one of the cool kids on the block.  I loved the yarn and color so much, I snagged an extra skein of each for another pair to gift.
