Yak, Yak Yarn and YAHOO!


Whoa big fella.... These guys are enormous, eh? I wouldn't want to accidentally end up in front of one. Domestic yaks are smaller and less shaggy, but a wild male can weigh over a ton and be more than 6 ½ feet tall... that's a lot of yak! With both undercoat and over layer, they are happy to 40 below... better them than me, that's what I have to say about that.

And for your fun fact... YAK YARN!!! I have some knitting friends who might just have to add that to their list of media...


And finally... It's a BIG DAY for my buddy Tara—her first book release is TODAY:  If The Shoe Fits so I thought I'd through her a little party, with all the

YAHOOs
YEEHAWs
and YIPEEs

such an event calls for.

You've worked hard, chica! Enjoy your big day and congratulations!!!!

And if I might trouble all of YOU... would you mind sharing a little love with her?

    Congrats to Tara.

    Yaks are such unusual creatures. Like extra parts all put together.

    Surprised you didn't go with yak loin. You know what it's good for. (Not that I need any...)
    Congratulations to Amber.

    Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay TARA!!!! And I knitted a sweater for one of my nephews in yak yarn, his parents brought it back for me from Nepal and I saved it for their firstborn. :-)

    That yak is way cool looking. But I wouldn't want to meet one in the wild.

    Added another book to the TBR pile.

    Congrats Tara!!

    I'd say how effervescent your post was if I could spell it correctly.

    Is anyone using Yahoo anymore? I think it's years since last time I used their services.

    Congratulations to Tara. Will go check out her book.

    As for yak yarn, I wonder if it's itchy?

    A big hurray for Tara/Amber! May her book sell by the thousands.

    I had no idea there was such a thing as yak yarn. Live and learn.

    That yak has horns so I'm standing clear. The yarn, however could tempt me. Also your friend's book. I love her cover.

    Aww, what a sweet thing to do for your writing buddy! Love the champagne and strawberries.

    Yah, the yak's can keep the -40. But their yarn makes a good blanket. :-)
