"Adventurous Zealana" (AKA Adventures with Zealana)

Decided to start up the blog again.  I mean, anyone who does anything in the modern knitting industry has a blog, right?  It'll be fun this time cuz I now have something great to talk about regarding yarn and knitting.  I've been hired to do some sample knitting for a few different shops and designers!  I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of the first package of yarn from a sweet little shop, Yarn Mountain, located in Virginia ....it'll be around 34 balls of Zealana's Aspire Heron in about 7 different colorways!  I literally can't wait!  I've been tracking the package online multiple times daily just to watch my precious yarn make it's trek across 4 states, 663 miles to be exact.  Which is nothing when you consider that this yarn originally hails from New Zealand.

I love to picture my yarn making it's little journey to me.  I map out the distance between the Yarn Mountain shop and my little town online, and imagine a tiny little truck carrying my special little balls of fluffy, decadent string along the map's crimson path.  I imagine the moment when it finally arrives:  I'll hear the faint rumbling of a delivery truck in the distance and my heart will flutter.  I'll casually glance from my computer screen towards the window, as we've certainly been here before.  Not wanting to show how anxious I really am (and at the same time wondering if it is completely crazy to be this anxious for yarn to arrive) I wait with bated breath, lest I miss the sound of squealing breaks as the truck pulls up to....my driveway!

The delivery man practically hops out of the open door, a small brown box already nestled in the crook of his arm.  But how could he be driving like that?  He jogs up to my silvered picket gate, and with one fluid movement, flips up the latch and sends the gate swinging open.  He seems to be almost skipping as he heads up the walk.

I'm on my feet.  My body lunges uncontrollably toward the door.  I'm suddenly in full-blown frenzy mode!  I can't contain my excitement any longer as one thing becomes abundantly clear to me....that package is for me, and that package contains YARN!

More to come once yarn actually arrives.......
