That Pink Bag of Doom was SO pink that it actually stained my plastic needles. That’d be them on the right.<\/p>\n

One 7-foot (pre-felting) handle is done, the other is half done, and now it’s on the back burner while I do Jayney stuff again.<\/p>\n

As a side note, one of the handles on my 2004 Booga Bag (pictured here blocking and covered with fluff)<\/a> is nearly worn through from me carrying too much in it for too long. I may have to actually – gasp! – BUY a purse!

\nIn trying to find the softest possible green yarn for a hat for a friend, I’ve been coming up snake-eyes. I found some heavenly-soft Misti Suri Alpaca, an alpaca\/silk blend, that is like buttah. Unfortunately, it’s also a much lighter green than I’d like.<\/p>\n

I may order the darker green pictured on the Misti Alpaca site.<\/a> I’d love to find something even softer, (Rowan Cashsoft DK?) but I hate to order something specifically for its softness when I haven’t been able to touch it first.<\/p>\n

I’m very open to suggestion for super-soft yarns, although I’m trying to stay away from anything too textured, like Chinchilla, just because it would obscure the pattern of Odessa by Grumperina<\/a>, which is what I’d be knitting.<\/p>\n

In health news, the same stomach crud is upon me tonight as last night. Could it be the Thin Mints? Say it ain’t so!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
