I stood too close to Cromarty while I was with Rachael and kiwi caught the dreaded Yarn Eating Syndrome......... (YES, I meant to do that (bonus points for Pee-Wee Herman fans)...*hee*)
I carefully calculated yardage needed for kiwi. I did. I even swatched, washed, and blocked. I posted PICTURES, remember? Everything was going along just FINE and then kiwi spent a couple of days alone with Cromarty and NOW...Lordie. I had to unravel my swatch to finish the second sleeve (and did, just barely, with cm to spare...) Since the body of kiwi is made from a handspun, hand dyed batch, what to do for the shawl collar? Brainstorm at 2AM one night last week...I had the PERFECT complement, already in my stash. I calculated the yardage. I swatched, I washed, I blocked. (No rest for the weary here.) I made it HALFway through the collar and it was clear...I NEED.more.yarn. How can that BE? Today I had to try two different places, but YAY, found the exact dyelot. Bought TWO skeins, just in case. Hopefully by the weekend, kiwi will be blocking on the new board. I've quarantined Rogue, just in case....
Y-E-S? I am very scared. I am not letting my yarn see two particular blogs....
Wow -- the freeway thing.
