Wooly Thoughts

 I've come out of Triangleville and into Crescent Hill. 😀

I saw a lovely scarf/shawl on Youtube and vaguely remembered  how I had made my previous crescent shaped shawl and jumped in on the deep end. I was planning to use all scrap yarn and make a multi-striped shawl, but just loved the combo of hand dyed reds and hand dyed greens and kept going, until I ran out of the green and had to dye a new skein. No biggie. This is sock yarn in high twist merino which is super nice to knit, and I used a US 2 needle. 

I am adamant that these are not Christmas colors. Ha! 

The diagonal lines continue throughout the scarf and the tied ends are so tapered and narrow as to not make a big globby knot. (unless I want a big globby knot).

So this morning, I fell down a rabbit hole with a yarn sale from one of my fave Danish online yarn stores. I spent a couple of hours putting juicy colors into my shopping cart and then at checkout I saw the tariff and asked myself if the sale savings overcame the tariff cost?

I stepped away...

And then I thought I ought to look at my recently dyed yarns en masse to see exactly what I had and maybe assuage the need to more to add to my tower of yarn.

O my. My O My!

 Mind you, this is not all, but it is most of my hand dyes. I have on order another set of ten (to dye) in my new fave base Yamhill merino-nylon fingering and it will be difficult to decide what I need to augment what is already in stash.

 It might be more multis to add to this four.  My new Caydo electric yarn winder is arriving today (they say) and that will get these hanks into usuable yarn cakes.  OK. I am set. No more new yarn.
