Today was not an accomplished day. I got a whole lotta nuthin’ done! Oh the kitchen got cleaned, the kids bathroom got sanitized but I didn’t get anything done that I wanted to do. I got a whopping 18 rows of the trellis scarf done. I am not inspired by the yarn or the pattern & I am thinking a pair of socks or felted slippers is going to be much more appreciated. I found myself on and off ebay drooling over yarn all day. Oregon Trail Yarn and Books was a hotspot of mine today. I love cones of yarn, in case you didn’t notice, and the Brown Sheep always gets my attention. On my watch list right now are these few things:
Mill 2nds of cotton fine in candy apple, over 1000 yards of it.
Lamb’s Pride 1lb Tiger Lily. I know I don’t need any more orange sweaters but I love this color!
1lb Lamb’s Pride worsted Prairie Fire. This is hands down my favorite color in the lamb’s pride line. I love it! Amazing it’s not green huh?
This is the one that is on the top of my list. I need to have a sweater this color! NEED IT! Pistachio worsted weight 1lb
Notice how the pictures get bigger the more I want the yarn?? Fantastic!
My Araucania Patagonia
should be here tomorrow! I am so excited I cannot contain myself~ what will I do with it you say?? I have no clue but a swatch will be done ten minutes after I open the package! I don’t want another cardigan, I don’t necessarily want another solid, plain sweater but there are not alot of options with this yarn to really show it off. I think once I look at it I will be inspired. I have 8 coming, that should be enough to make whatever strikes my fancy. If it is not enough for a pattern, I won’t use that pattern! I am thinking I want it to be something I can wear on humid, cool summer nights here in SB. Maybe I will just need to do some kind of simple openwork cardigan/jacket with straight drop sleeves, maybe 3/4 length, and a kimono style wrap front. Plain dropped stitches are too blah. Rippley waves are well, too wavy! I will have to go to the Stitchionary 
to find my perfect stitch pattern.
Aren’t I just in the design mode lately? I doubt any of it will come to much other than a garment for myself but hey, that is what knitting is about sometimes! Selfish, narcissistic knitting. Fantastic!
That was my Earth Day, we didn’t drive the car anywhere at least! Didn’t use the house heater. We were rather productive (or non-productive depending on how you look at it) on this Earth Day!
