stash...she neglected to say what she was working on. But let me digress a bit.....Sunshine and I are probably twins separated at birth (those of you who know us can figure this out in your head), and we have attention spans of about 10 rows past the cast on! Now before you think that we are indeed TRIFLIN', let me just add that last year we both did finish an ENTRELAC bag. (mmmm Noro!)
We can't go shopping together....we find too many exciting projects that we JUST HAVE to do. Up until about 2 months ago all said projects usually ALWAYS included really cool yarns, no eyelash, no bamboo (that's another story) and definitely NO acrylic. Let's face it....we were yarn snobs. We would spend way too much time fondling a skein of sock yarn and trying to figure out what glorious "thing" you could make with ONE skein. (Hey! We were snobs, but we're regular folk!)
So, if you mentioned RED HEART to one of us, we'd likely smile to your face, then get on the telephone to each other and talk about you like a dog!
But then came Babette......
Babette is a lovely, lovely afghan that was featured in Interweave Press a few years ago. In the example they use Koigu(mmm Koigu!).
Ugh! Over 17 skeins of it. Err!
Well, noting our track record with actually finishing things (let me hear you say Kauni Cardigan! Amen!) and the fact that we have children that would like to attend college some day.......you know where I'm going with this.
So now, both our stashes have LOTS of acrylic....we've been taken down a notch or two.
We ain't proud!!!
Those colors rock, Angela! I LOVE them. But why sew them together? Just make dishrags and potholders like I do! mmmmhhaaaaaa.
