Okay so I posted pics of the pattern & the yarn I am going to use in the aran-along that Thuy so graciously bullied me into (I say bullied because I have been putting this sweater off for more than a year & she pushed me kindly to do it, really without even knowing that is what she would do). I am rather excited about it & have even been tempted to put down the stripey sweater once more to start the aran sweater. But since the ‘official’ start date isn’t until feb 1 I will plug right along on the stripey pain in my ass.
I washed both the verdeatriana sweater & the “sweatshirt” from Tracy today. Rather interesting development, the light blue sweater rinsed lavender purple. Craziest thing! But it’s not so crazy considering it is from handpaintedyarn & all their yarn has something funky about it. Blast how I love their yarns!
Must fight the urge to start the aran, must fight it, must fight it!!
