Well, let's see what happens

This is rather odd. Since I spend most of my life thinking about knitting or yarn, it may be good to write it all down and forget about the tiresome necessity of work.

I cast on a  new project today and I have another skein sitting here to cast on a second. Periodically I will cast on a lot of projects, so there is always something interesting to pick up when I'm too busy to think. The first is a Dolce Beret by Sheryl Greenfield. I'm using Becoming Art Cielo Worsted, colourway Neverland. The lace will possibly get a bit lost in the colour explosion, but I'm pretty impressed with the 5cm already knitted.

The second skein is a surprise purchase! Well, Kiri at Yay for Yarn was having a sale a few weeks back and I decided to nab some Dream In Color yarns I had beein eyeing for a while. Well, this skein of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Satsuma just jumped in my basket and refused to get out. Yarn does that - worse than puppy dogs for following you home. It also asked to be turned into a Marmalade Shawl by Tetiana Otruta.  I'll have to fiddle around to figure out how to post the Ravelry links. I don't want my brain to explode too soon.
