Blooming Angora

Today's good thing is that I finished the skein of angora yarn for Sarah's mother in South Korea last night.  It's one ply of Andy & Genny fur and one ply of a luxurious 80/20 merino silk top called chocolate cherry (black, white, and red).  The result is greys and blacks with a pop of red every now and then.  It's not the most colorful skein in the world, but who knows what colors Sarah's mom likes, and this is fairly neutral.

You can see the lovely angora halo

On the way out of the gym this morning I made it a game to greet everyone with a cheery "good morning," instead of slouching by anonymously.  It's surprising the lift you get from being greeted by eight or ten complete strangers.

Love your angora blend fiber. I agree with your observation on greeting total strangers. It always makes a person feel good.
