Looks like our Natalie knew, too.
That is two skeins of Pima Lino Lace by the Diamond Yarn people. I have no idea who they are but I think I love them. The colorway is #1792 AKA Cranberry. Kind of fabulous, no? No plan for it yet, but I've got time. ;^)
Also!
I'm sure anyone who's been following this story has already hear, but TMZ is reporting that the 6 year old who was stood up by that dreadful has told her no thank you to her offer of joining her at some kind of cook out that the network is putting together. Yes, she wasn't even inviting that baby to visit her. I'm guessing that would be a little too human for her.
Seriously. Has her show been canceled yet?
Oh, the gorgeous color! It's gaw-juss.

I bet her ratings have tanked! The color of that yarn is fantastic.

Gorgeous!! Are you petting it since you can't knit with it ;-)

Ouch. (But I think the kid would have forgiven her and gone. Not so sure it's about him anymore, alas.) In any case, I hope he's happy and healed, and can't be bothered to think about what's her face anymore.
Pretty yarn!

Lovely yarn. Will you be able to wait until 2012 to cast on?
I'm glad the kid said no. It's not supposed to be all about her. By the way, thanks for passing this news along. I missed TMZ.

Right!
The color looks fantabulous and the mix can be good for your area but, I believe there's gonna be spring and summer after 2011 too! :)
Posted by: Rachel | Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 06:34 PM
Yeah, I'd pass too, knowing how much she must have been pressured to say yes. Ugh.
Lovely yarn! I too love the color. It looks soft!

Sounds like the network was trying to do some damage control. While I'm glad the kid said no, I hope s/he is doing better and got a wish granted that was equally good.

So, people are trying to rig the pool by sending you gorgeous yarn?
2012 is only 9 months away. You can ignore stuff longer than that...

That yarn is really lovely! How can you resist its charms?
Posted by: Kym | Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 04:37 AM
Really? That awful woman is still around? I'm so glad the little one turned her down. What a b*tch. Love your gorgeous 2012 yarn. I'll bet if you wait and show this picture on January 1,2 012, I will not remember it and exclaim how very good you were;-D
Posted by: CindyCindy | Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 04:42 AM
Love that color. So pretty.
Never watched that show, and never will. hence - cancelled at my house!! :D
Posted by: Daniele | Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 04:55 AM
Lovely yarn! Looks like someone is trying to get you to knit with non-handspun yarn!! ;)
She's a piece that one...glad the little guy turned her down. Apparently she doesn't have a heart. Umm, that would make her a grinch!
Posted by: Marilyn | Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 05:58 AM
I didn't want to miss the opportunity of getting you some of that pinkness because there's no telling if it'll still be there next year. And if I'd held onto it for that long there's no guarantee I'd ever remember to send it.
I'm glad to hear the kid said no.
Posted by: Natalie | Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 06:24 AM
That color is a killer! Wow! Gorgeous, just drop dead gorgeous.
Posted by: margene | Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 07:02 AM
Pretty! You'll have all of the rest of the year to admire and pet it.
Posted by: Cheryl S. | Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 07:10 AM
You know, I don't know. Maybe her people really didn't tell her about the request. Maybe once she found out about it, she thought (or Food Network thought) it would be a good idea to have a cook out where the boy could meet lots of FN stars? I agree it all sounds really bad, but maybe it's not as bad as it sounds... I mean, TMZ wouldn't get much attention if it was a simple misunderstanding.
I'm such a doof - I forgot you were only knitting handspun this year! Be strong!
Posted by: elizabeth | Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 12:23 PM
Oh, that color!!! I might have to break my yarn fast and go get me some of that gorgeousness. Oh, and as to that nasty piece of work...I have never liked her and have forbidden my family to put her show on ever after this crap.
Posted by: Doris | Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 01:12 PM
Oooh! It's so very pretty! I have been looking at yarn similar to that. I received a color card and some catalogs for weaving, but saw the idea of using it for lace knitting, and have been studying the color card ever since.

AKA gorgeous more like! Lucky girl, you do inspire devotion of the fibery kind.
Posted by: sil | Friday, April 01, 2011 at 10:51 AM
Aww. She can't fit in a poor sick baby? Is she inundated with that kind of request? I kind of doubt it.
PRETTIES! So way should that wait until 2012. That's the year the world ENDS.
Posted by: Carrie#K | Friday, April 01, 2011 at 12:42 PM
No way. NO way. Not "so" way. Gah.
Posted by: Carrie#K | Friday, April 01, 2011 at 12:42 PM
WoWzers on your pretty new yarn! :^)
I'm betting that little boy will have a much better, mo wonderful experience with the dolphins..
and ffs, did you happen to read any of the comments?!?!?!?

Pretty yarnz!
What a horrible way to act. I hope the little guy has a super experience with some really good people.
Posted by: Angie | Sunday, April 03, 2011 at 07:10 PM
I'm glad he told her no! I don't like watching her show - she has the typical elitist 'tude that we deal with up here all the time and it drives me NUTS.
