Random Stash Generator Yarn for February
The random generator selected A Swell Yarn Shop as my yarn brand for February and I chose this colourway as it seemed appropriate for the month of love.

Monkeys really are addictive aren't they? I've done one pair so far and I KNOW I'll do more.
Your yarn is the perfect pick for February.
I have been looking at monkey pattern and can't wait to try it.
Your February yarn is beautiful, I will have to wait for my yarn crawl in May(too far away) to find something equally as nice. No lys here that carries anything that nice.
Pigs in Mud. That is FABULOUS.
