I have a reluctant sweater to crochet. I really should be getting back to it. But there's a bit I'm not sure what to do with, and so I'm doing what I always do when confronted with a design challenge. I put it away and work on other things.
Knitty is an online magazine, published quarterly, that features knitting patterns. I look through each new issue, and sometimes I see something I like. Like this week...
The pattern: Subjunction. I mean, I don't really want the finished object. The thing that struck me about the pattern was that it called for a certain kind of yarn, the kind of yarn that my brother's been gifting me for birthdays and Christmases.
It only requires two skeins. I have two skeins of yarn.
The problem with this yarn? From the pattern, "I recommend a solid, nearly-solid or lightly-speckled yarn. The ribbing would cause a strongly variegated yarn to look muddled." Yeah, that's a strongly variegated yarn.
So, the Tardis blue? But I have four skeins of that. That's probably enough for a bigger project. Not that I have a bigger project in mind, but if I blow two skeins on this, then if that bigger project comes along...
I mean, I really should just get back to the reluctant sweater. But now I'm thinking about all these yarns that are just sitting in my stash. Sigh.
