I don't know about you but all this wet and wintry weather is really getting me down! So in an attempt to cheer myself up I am surrounding myself with a rainbow of yarn.
Getting all this sorted out and bagged up has helped me to get organised and I now have some animals ready to be added to etsy, hopefully starting tomorrow. I'm also hoping to write up a free Eastery pattern in the next few weeks. It definitely helps to look ahead to spring - let's hope it gets here very soon!
oooh that looks lovely! always a fan of rainbows...so i'm questioning my sanity lately as i'm absolutely loving the greys, blues and sludgy yellow(the sun!) at the moment!

I totally agree with you; here in Denmark the weather is also grey, wet and cold. I would have preferred sunny, white and cold, but if we can't have that, then give us spring - soon ;0)
All your beautiful yarn look so fine and it do bring hapiness watching it. It's wonderful how colour can affect one's mood :0)

gorgeous colours, just what we all need!

Holy Cow Julie! That's a lot of beautiful yarn!!!
Posted by: thimbleanna | February 10, 2009 at 01:31 PM
I'd like to get my hands on that lot!!
Posted by: Caroline B | February 10, 2009 at 02:10 PM
I love that rainbow of yarn - very cheery!! :O)
Posted by: Jackie | February 10, 2009 at 02:21 PM
February. Ugh. I love your rainbow - have fun with it!
Posted by: kirstencan | February 10, 2009 at 02:47 PM
Wow!! Color! I feel like I've been living in black and white for the last two months...all that dirty snow. I feel spring on the horizon. Hope I can get one of your toys!
Posted by: Linda | February 10, 2009 at 02:56 PM
Ohh nice! I am realli looking forward for the pattern!
Thanks in advance!
Posted by: Marisol | February 10, 2009 at 03:10 PM
Those gorgeous colours couldn't fail to cheer you up Julie - hope they do do the trick! This time of year can be the toughest can't it? Still, bulbs are peeping p, the birds are just beginning to sing a little more and spring really is on the way. Emma x

Looking forward to the Spring, too. I wish I could be that organised my stash is stuffed in boxes.
Posted by: Zoe | February 10, 2009 at 04:06 PM
I am *very* jealous - I have pledged not to buy any more yarn until I've used at least one box of what I have (ignoring the 13 balls of RYC cashsoft I just "acquired") and now I see things I want!
Hope your chooks are still bringing you lots of cheer :)
Posted by: Vonnie | February 10, 2009 at 04:06 PM
I will definitely second that, Julie! Bring on spring. How amazing does that rainbow of yarn look?? Scrumptious!
Posted by: Gemma | February 10, 2009 at 04:08 PM
All that colour makes my heart sing.
Posted by: Rebecca | February 10, 2009 at 04:16 PM
IT'S YOUR FAULT! I've been singing I can sing a rainbow for HOURS! So I had to come back and post... rainbows are full of hope. Thanks Julie. You made my day;0)
Posted by: jill | February 10, 2009 at 04:21 PM
Lovely yarn - just the ticket for these miserable, grey days.
Posted by: Elizabeth Yule | February 10, 2009 at 04:23 PM
Just what I needed to cheer up yet another day when the snow just won't go away - if you come and visit my new blog, you can see how much of the nasty white stuff we've had (and I'm having a one-month anniversary giveaway to tempt you!)
Posted by: Anne Donald | February 10, 2009 at 04:34 PM
A lovely rainbow of yarn :)
Posted by: juliet | February 10, 2009 at 05:38 PM
Oh my...what lovely colors. I'm almost done with my scarf that I crochet...it was harder than I thought! Sooo out of practice!
How are the "girls"?
Deanna :D
Posted by: Deanna | February 10, 2009 at 06:57 PM
Nice Stash! :) How very cheerful! I know you'll make beautiful things with it. :)
Posted by: Pink Sky | February 10, 2009 at 07:02 PM
Gosh, that makes my mouth water. Doesn't it look lovely? x
Posted by: Kitty | February 10, 2009 at 07:24 PM
Those colours are so beautiful. Oh goody, I will be checking Etsy for your animals:)
Posted by: Preeti | February 10, 2009 at 07:31 PM
Wow, that's quite a stash you've got there. We must be on the same wavelength, I've been posting some rainbow like pics lately too!
Posted by: Lina | February 10, 2009 at 07:31 PM
Oh goodness! Lovely yarn stash, and beautifully organized too! :)
I feel the same way too, we had a warm snap yesterday and now all I think is summer thoughts!
Posted by: Kendall | February 10, 2009 at 08:24 PM
That is an awful lot of beautiful yarn. Gorgeous!
Posted by: Gina | February 10, 2009 at 09:23 PM
Love the yarn - very pretty. You have to move down to Oz it is nice and warm here :)
Posted by: thereddeer | February 10, 2009 at 10:29 PM
So how come your stash is gorgeously coordinated and mine just looks like a big pile of tangles? Not fair!
Posted by: dottycookie | February 10, 2009 at 10:34 PM
I love it, very cheery, can't wait to see what these little rainbow threads are made into. Keep up the fantastic work Julie. xx
Posted by: Raynor Gellatly | February 10, 2009 at 10:43 PM
I'm fed up with this weather too. I want spring! Spring spring spring!!!
Love your blog. Have had to add you to my blogroll so that I can watch your chicken progess :)
Posted by: Helena | February 11, 2009 at 01:46 AM
Each year, I forget how hard I find February. The rainbow does help.
Posted by: Ali | February 11, 2009 at 06:24 AM
Beautiful picture!
Posted by: Hege | February 11, 2009 at 07:33 AM
Ooh, what a lovely bright stash - definitely just the thing to brighten up this ice cold misty morning!
Having seen the latest additions to your household I'm wondering if it won't be long before we see some little knitted chickens joining the LCR family??
:)

I'm longing for your weather! here in South East Australia we've just come through 12 days of temp over 35 with probably 8 of those above 40 ending with 46 degrees, wind and bushfires destroying homes within 1 km of ours. Rain sounds just so good.
I hope spring warms you soon, as autumn cools us.
thanks for your rainbow.
Posted by: delwyn | February 11, 2009 at 09:31 AM
What beautifull colours, i can't wait for a bit of sunshine, or even less rain would do, hope you are all having a good week! x
Posted by: Alex Mason | February 11, 2009 at 10:51 AM
What a fun way to brighten up the dreariness of winter!
Posted by: Kim | February 11, 2009 at 03:27 PM
I am totally with you. The weather is so depresssing. That stash is really cheery. I have been buying knitting patterns like they will not make any more. I should be sewing for an upcoming craft fair but I just prefer knitting a the mo.
Posted by: Joy | February 11, 2009 at 03:40 PM
So lovely, that has certainly cheered me up today!
love

That yarn is beautiful! Can't wait for an Easter pattern...we all need a fun Spring project!
Posted by: Jennifer | February 11, 2009 at 08:00 PM
What a nice way to cheer yourself up. That reminds me, I found your blog last year because of your nice easter eggs.
Posted by: Angelika | February 11, 2009 at 08:10 PM
That's beautiful! We could do with something to brighten up the grey here too the last few days, but we did get some sunshine today.
I love the pics of your chickens, they have so much personality!
Posted by: Cat | February 11, 2009 at 08:11 PM
A fuzzy rainbow! I bet all the critters you have made have come and gone on Etsy by now! Someday I will have the right timing.. but i can wait, I am patient!
Posted by: Wyldhare | February 12, 2009 at 03:41 AM
Lucky you! If I were you I'd be knitting like crazy with all that yarn. Yippie!
Posted by: Carolyn | February 12, 2009 at 08:05 PM
Such a pretty assortment of colours. Gosh, I am just so envious of all those wonderful balls of wool. I want to come and play at yours !! :D
Posted by: Cara @ Turvys | February 12, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Oh, so much colorful yarn! How wonderful.
Posted by: Amy | February 13, 2009 at 01:41 AM
Oh Julie,
That little Florence Fox in your Etsy store was fabulous!
Posted by: frazzy dazzles | February 13, 2009 at 05:57 AM
wow! I can't wait to purchase a rabbit from etsy!
Posted by: Leah | February 13, 2009 at 06:36 AM
Hi
Just wanted to say that i have been visitng your blog for many moons now-it was the first blog I ever found and went to. I have a blog of my own (not nearly as interesting as this alas) and have awarded you a blog award for all you do especially for good causes-the gratitude bit of the award as you will read.If you want to go and see please do visit my blog and it's up to you to decide if you want to award further awards of course. Thanks and hope the Australian Appeal raises lots of money-I didn't think my message appropriate on that post so hope you find this one. Thanks. Jennie

Early spring cleaning! I just sorted my threads and silks - it feels so good to be able to find the right colour - for as long as it lasts! Lovely rainbow! t.x
