Yesterday I contemplated this yarn. I have 4 skeins of it and I was knitting a cardigan with it, but I've pretty much come to realize that it's not going to happen. Right now I just need simpler projects.
Looks like a lot of people could get a lot of teal blue hats and/or scarves for Christimas this year, if I get on that soon.
I also contemplated this yarn, which is my favorite BFL and my favorite purple. I knitted one fingerless mitt with it but it's way too small for me. Laughably small. At the time I thought I'd just finish up and give them to my sister, who has much smaller hands than I. But I don't really want to knit the second one. So I will continue contemplating this yarn. Maybe some socks.
Then I contemplated this right mess. The one on the left is new, a one of a kind color that I did not measure or write down. Don't ask me why I do that sometimes. There's no reasonable answer. The one on the right is this yarn. I knew when I dyed it that it would take a while to sell because orange almost always does. But I can't help but dye orange; I love it so. It's passionate and unafraid to be exactly what it is. Sometimes I go in to where I keep the yarn and squeeze all my orange yarns.
But don't tell anybody.
I took action on these yarns - I tamed them with my handy skein winder.
Same with these. They looked even worse than the ones above. But now, they look sleek and lovely.
They'll be in my next update, which I'm planning for sometime in the next week or two.
Trying to get on a more regular schedule now. It's hard when there are baby toes in the house to nibble...
what a feast of color!
