Not much progress on my mitten. Frankly it looks the same as before 🤔

I ordered yarn to round out my tam yarn packs.   I also started buying some yarn for a sweater pack. Most of the colors seem discontinued now and I have lone hanks to compare to the newer limited offerings. I used to love J & S yarns over Jamiesons primarily because J & S had tweeds. Now all those seem to be gone. Of course they do have lovely heathers but with the range shrinking I get stressed trying to find suitable substitutes.

I also ordered Janine Bajus’ upcoming book which may help me deal with color substitution angst.

The fair isle/stranded color work obsession got some serious competition this weekend. A friend built me a blocking frame!  I brought that home last night. Lace has always been a favorite but since I so recently completed a shawl I was hoping to get a few other things done before casting on another. Now I don’t know….  Knitters ADD in full force over here.

yarny days and knitterly evenings
