Knitting time and gardening time are currently in fierce competition with knitting getting short shrift at the moment. I cannot tell you how many evenings I have sat down, happy to pick up my knitting, only to fall asleep after merely a few rows. So although I am progressing on current projects, that progress is currently rather slow...
Instead I shall entertain you with new acquisitions. These are things that have arrived in the first two installments for the mystery blanket knit along I have joined.
First up, two balls of yarn. These are the photographs from my yarn stash catalog and are therefore functional but not glamorous. These are the first two yarns for blanket, but they are not enough, in and of themselves, to complete even one square. And so they occupy a liminal space awaiting the arrival of their friends -- neither stash, nor project -- hoping the blanket party can soon begin. Without going into it, let me just say that the yarn and I are joined in our liminality; it has just been that kind of year so far.
But there are other goodies as well:
This set of gray yarns from Trendsetter came with the options of either a shell or the adorable bears. I am opting for the bears.
And I adore these two colors for a future scarf: Lana Grossa Colorissimo is a sport-weight wool, and luscious Artyarns beaded silk and sequins light. I did see this scarf at the reveal, but have no memory of what it will look like other than the fact that I liked it. At the moment, just looking at the two yarns makes me smile in anticipation.
This pack of yarns came in the second box. Alas I missed the reveal zoom as I had a prior commitment and I have no idea what this will look like when it is done. All I know is that it will be a sweater. All these pinks makes me sparkly happy.
A little mystery can be a good thing.
