Game of Thrones PDS YARN CLUB

This is the first Skein we received in the GOT Yarn Club.  The yarn is a luscious blend of Merino and Silk!  The club also includes a beautiful gift besides the yarn in each of the three shipments.  I know nothing about The Game of Thrones books or TV series, but of course, I joined up right away. I love The Knit 'N Needle, in Montana which is my local yarn shop.  The owner is a talented yarn dyer. I jumped at the chance to see what she has been up to in the dye pot.   

The first package arrived up here in Alaska in a pretty timely fashion.  I say this as at times mail moves rather slowly this far north due to weather, space on planes, and the list of pending mail issues can go on and on.

 
A little look inside a nicely packaged box of goodies!  I always love when yarn comes wrapped in tissue paper it feels unique in an old fashion sort of way!
  
 
I have recently become a huge fan of Instagram!  If you follow me there, you have seen some of these photos. You are not going nuts thinking "I have seen these photos before . . ."
The goodies!  A nice cup/logo perfect for that knitting tea I enjoy daily!  Aimee always does an excellent job of putting together all the right pieces for a knitting club. If you are on Ravelry, you can find the shoppe forum at Ravelry Groups Knit-n-Needle the thread  to the Game of Thrones .  It is not to late to sign up!  We are a very chatty group, many of use have known each other in person for years or have become online friends.  If  you feel like we all know each other  . . . well, many of us do!  Please, we love new knitters so jump in to the chat!  Oh, one last thing it is totally fine to be off topic!




My Waterton Shawl which is more of a wrap or would it be correct to call it a shawl-et?  Is on the needles!  I did frog it out last night as I had a few too many oops for my liking.  I also switched to my bamboo needles as the metal ones were far too slippery.
