The problem is I figured out what pattern I wanted to knit for a baby blanket. However I wanted a specific yarn (Never one or enough that you have in your stash, you know what I mean?) I got what I wanted (and then some) but that's a post for another day ...
The problem is while I was there, i discovered Lace Lux all knit up in a simple sample and it was so soft ... and shiny. So I had to buy some. So instead of carrying about socks, I've been carrying that about. Just a wide scarf on US 10s in stockinette. The tension is a little wobbles, I could've gone down to a 9, but so be it.
Maybe if I'm feeling ... ambitious, I'll do another in rib and go down a needle size. But for now, I'm easily and happily distracted.
Beautiful yarn, beautiful colors. I'm guessing the wobbles will block out just fine.
ReplyDeleteLooks the FUN knitting.
Hey, go where the feeling takes you! Life is too short to stress knitting.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that Lace Lux sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeletebeautiful knitting!! I did a deep stash dive for my baby blanket and scored :) However I have a closet full of yarns.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the distractions; you are knitting!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours. Those knitted up samples are so very tempting aren't they. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteNice! It looks soft, and is probably a pleasure to feel in your hands as you knit. There are no rules as to what you have to knit, so knit on any project you desire.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it will be pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm easily distracted by shiny, too ...
You picked up pretty colors. I love a grey with a pop of color. Awww, you made me nostalgic for Imagiknit. I haven't been there for ages.
ReplyDeleteI can almost feel the softness. I love the tiny bit of fuzz that yarn shows! You are your own knit boss. I like it just the way it is
ReplyDeleteI fell off the yarn wagon today, too! Looks like you found some fun stuff! I did, too.....and a few patterns as well.
ReplyDeleteHow could you not be distracted by that yarn? It is gorgeous. Bigger needles mean faster knits, so you can get back to your other project in no time at all.

I can't tell you how many times I actually don't have something in my (enormous) stash for a project ... not the right color, weight, yardage, etc. It is pretty ridiculous! Love your lacey knitting!
ReplyDeleteWow, the sheen and colors of that yarn are amazing! Happy distractions are the best!
ReplyDeletelured by beautiful yarn once again.....they get us every time, don't they?
ReplyDeleteI am so mad at my blog reader. It keeps forgetting to update yours. I bet that pretty little blanket is done by now. I know what you mean about finishing things. I always get a bad case of finishitis and put things away when I am just about done. I think its avoidance. Once a project is done I have to judge it and that's not the fun part. I am totally about the process.
ReplyDeleteAh knitting... it provides soooo many distractions!
