Michelle’s comment about peacock tails got me reaching for peacock colors afterwards. I knew I was about to go off to Stitches, about to go buy gloriously gorgeous new yarns, but I just couldn’t have a day without a project!
Yeah, well. I way overdid it with my hands on that chair Friday. (Thank you, Sam, so much for taking it over on Saturday!) I simply had to wait, with all that lovely yarn staring at me, not that I wanted to confess that to the blog. Not Going To Happen Right Now. No Knitting Allowed. Heal.
Today was dark and stormy, the kind of day for curling up with a good yarn; I was doing better and gave it a go.
I’m actually glad now that I have something in my way that will take me a good dozen hours to finish up: time to be creative in while keeping my mind open to what the first of the new wants to be when it grows up. I knit so much and with so many yarns: they come, they go, it’s on to the next. But, unlike some skeins, I don’t want to just play with these from Lisa, Dianne, and Melinda–I want them each to be in the perfect design from the get-go. They’re just too pretty not to be.
Knitting time. Thinking time. It’s all good.
(Oh, and yes, I found our certificate from when we tied the knot. Phew!)
