Look at this gorgeous-ness. Lipstick red suri merino yarn. Yumyumyum. I have 7 delicious balls of this yarn to go with the dark grey I already had to make Mariah. This, apparently, was the inspiration I was lacking. I’ve been ho-hum about my knitting lately. I mean, I love the fact that I have something on the needles, but I’m ready for something really challenging and creatively inspiring. I think this will be it. It’s been awhile since I’ve been angry at my knitting and cussed at it and fought with it and I kinda miss that. It’s like knitting and I have become an old married couple lately and we’re just not really into that. I mean, sure, the security is nice, but the passion has been missing. I think the passion is about to heat up soon. I might even keep two projects on the needles at the same time. Maybe three. We’ll see.
I’m almost finished with the Auburn sock (2 more inches and the baby’s done). I have an idea for another scarf that I want to get on the needles soon. It involves getting rid of using up left over yarn from other projects – if I have enough *snort*. And then there is the matter of B’s sock(s). While the sock that I finished fits, it’s not as tight a fit as B prefers. I prefer to think as the first sock as a sock-shaped gauge swatch. Work with me here, ok? I’m trying to keep morale high. I measured both of B’s feet for instep circumference and ankle circumference. Now I just need to measure the gauge on the sock-shaped swatch and do a little maths. *Le Sigh* Maths. I hate you.
Anyway, I got a little crazy with the yarn and the picture taking and, well, just see for yourself.
You know…I’m kind of jealous that you are able to wear stuff that’s been knit with that beautiful yarn…..my skin is too sensitive and I would be itchy in just about everything…..that sucks….
hmmm…
