Well, I received the yarn and was I ever delighted! The yarn is the Paintbox brand. I've seen it advertised but never had the opportunity to use it. They are two different lighter weights of yarn. One is 5 shades fine DK cotton yarn and I know what I'm going to knit with it. I'll share in a few days once I get started.
The other is 5 shades of 100 gram Double Knitting (DK), that use a size 4 mm knitting needle. That's my favorite size needle.
I do have a few small things on my knitting to-do list, but I've been having fun searching through Ravelry's and Loveknitting.com's patterns, for projects that would be perfect. I've got it narrowed down to a poncho, shawl or shawlette. I have a dozen patterns flagged. Now, from that dozen, it's a matter of looking at the patterns to make sure there's nothing too complicated. I'll narrow it down to my top three soon.
For now, have a look at these yummy skeins of yarn. In a couple of days, I'll share my top three shawl designs, and ultimately the one I've chosen.
Thanks Loveknitting.com for making my summer knitting more interesting.
Stay tuned...

I too knit on the couch, watching TV. I love your yarn.. how fun
I love knitting on the verandah of my camp deep in the woods, early in the morning when I get up, 2 dogs by my feet, listening to the birds in the trees, and the hum of the mosquitoes...
