The majority of the yarns are in the mail today to try to avoid a mail strike scheduled for Thursday if Canada Post can't reach their agreement with the union. Those of you on the west coast of Canada may see a delay in your yarn delivery if they do go on strike and *crossing my fingers* the yarns headed out of Canada will be on their way prior to Thursday.RoxanneZYGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985212778777714758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744643018420180604.post-31501027522870262822011-05-17T14:59:00.001-04:002011-05-17T14:59:18.587-04:00May's "Spoiler"<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/knitnpurlzen/5730682423/" title="Blue Colourway by RoxanneZYG, on Flickr"><img alt="Blue Colourway" height="228" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3610/5730682423_ec7fc49774_m.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>RoxanneZYGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985212778777714758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744643018420180604.post-59694984587711899982011-05-02T11:36:00.000-04:002011-05-02T11:36:11.807-04:00May's Inspiration & Teaser - KandinskyThis month's colourway is inspired by Kandinsky and his painting is called "Blue":<br />

Because I couldn't decide which way to go with this colourway, I ended up with two versions for this month which everyone will receive one of randomly. Yarns mail tomorrow due to Canada Post being closed today for New Year's Day on Saturday. Happy New Year everyone!<br />

I have no idea what he is trying to say with his paintings but I sure do love the bold colours which seems to go so well with his bold, "out there" paintings. This month's painting is entitled "Burning Giraffe".<br />
