Friday night, after finishing Shalom, I went digging in the yarn stash. I had no idea what to knit. I only knew I wasn't ready to commit to something from the WIP basket. Digging through yarn struck me as the perfect task.
I opened every box and fondled every skien. Well at least one of every colour, but I went through everything. I wasn't tremendously inspired by anything.
I didn't finish the digging till noon Saturday and by then, inspiration did strike but it really wasn't my ordinary project and it wasn't just one thing.
I will start with something that I showed you just after Christmas. One of my boys, my youngest, gave me a few balls of yarn for Christmas. You may remember this.
See that brilliant turquoise Tove and the multi coloured Wadaiko? As I was digging I rediscovered
two balls of perfectly colour matched 2 ply from Custom Woolen Mills. I finally knew what the bright skein of Wadaiko and the Tove would be. A felted bag.
It is bright and eye popping and I love it.
The perfect thing at the end of a couple of nice but staid projects. Perfect for midwinter blahs.
But there was much, much more knitting this weekend. Stay tuned.
