how long can you hold your breath?

why do i ask? b/c this spectacular new yarn won't be available until Jan-Feb '09!
and it's even better to see, touch, and knit with!!
seeing is better than not seeing, touching is better than seeing, knitting is better than touching, and more knitting is best of all! [i've asked santa to set aside 2 of every color for me! and then a couple more for hat and scarf for my dh!]

these are pics of yarn balls and swatches for a wonderful new Crystal Palace yarn called Mini-Mochi. it's super soft merino and superwash !too!
frankly, my dear.... i've knit a couple of models with it, and the softness is only excelled by the
sheer "one more row - can't stop knitting" beauty!!

First, the famous Mochi, who is a "scottish fold"... amazing eyes!
