it came!

I got my yarn from the postman! I'm really happy with it-- it smells fresh, and there's lots of little bits of hay in it. Actually, it smells like a carpet store. I suppose that's what new wool is supposed to smell like. I started on a little bit of a swatch, then ripped it out in favor of some bigger needles. These new ones are size 9s. I'm a tight knitter, and I always seem to have to go up a size or two or five before I get gauge. I'm being a good girl, and this swatch will get washed and blocked before I even think about starting a sleeve. Ok, I'm thinking about it, but I'm not gonna do it.
