That’s both an exclamation of delight and a note to self. 
Meantime, I was knitting something subdued and quiet and…suddenly I felt like, color. I need color! I put the one project aside and grabbed the Lisa Souza’s Mardi Gras merino that had come in the get-well basket from my Purlescence knit-night friends in January. I’ve started it in the Carlsbad scarf, a simple pattern that is good for showing off an extravagant color display like this.
This is the yarn that, while I was in the hospital, I kept thinking how good it would look on that day’s nurse. Then the next one. And the next one.
There’s enough yarn for two scarves, and it’s a total toss-up where they’ll land, but at least this one will go to Stanford Hospital.
(Meantime, this Hercules amaryllis opened today, one of the bulbs Dad gave me this past Christmas.)
