I have been working on finishing projects, with varying degrees of success. The National Park project is nearly done. It involves an old but rarely used chair that several felines decided was a scratching post. I will post more when it is complete.
The bird sweater is taking forever. I am only about 5 inches below the arms. It is insane. I measured it, knit for an hour, and measured again. No freaking difference! It drives me to working on little projects instead, like these Catchalls. They cover little glass yogurt jars and are decorated with some buttons I picked up at a flea market in Paris.
I have managed to not start more socks. The goal is no more than one pair per month. It is an Olympics year, so I will be doing Tour de Sock. The rule is suspended for that.
With most of the paths to fiber mischief blocked, it should not be surprising that I joined two yarn clubs. I discovered Indie Untangled while hunting for national parks yarns. It is doing the Where We Knit yarn club. Designers and indie dyers are paired for each shipment. Wobble Gobble is the dyer and the colorway is Frozen Magic.
The pattern was pretty but it was a cowl and I don’t do cowls.
The other club is (big surprise) the Doctor Who themed Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey club from The Dyeing Arts. The colorway is The Doctor’s Wife. There are tiny silver sparkles throughout the yarn. It definitely wants to be used for something where it can catch the light.
