I took time yesterday to do a try on of my Geddy Tee.

It fits just as I hoped.  

It' s nice

I want to write this morning but I don't really have any knitting to talk about.  

I lied yesterday.  I said my WIPs all fit in the WIPs bin.  They don't.  The reason they don't is that there are 4 different knit next in the WIPs bin, so that gives me a pass, right? Hahaha

I bought a fair bit of yarn this year.  Yarn for the blanket.  Yarn for a Flea in the proper size for me.  Yarn for...well I have not quite decided but that gorgeous Fjallalopi for a something with possible colourwork, but a sweater quantity of it and the really lovely Hillesvag Ask in this year's perfect pea shoot green, a sweater Quantity.  And yet, I dream of a little something else.

Midknit Cravings has a newer colourway, Drama which is a rich burgundy and red sprinkled with spots of black.  It is elegant and sophisticated and I want it.  I do not need it but I want it.  

I am working on resisting that want.  There is not a lot I want anymore.  Somehow my life has come down to only wanting yarn and books to listen to and not too much else.  My needs are met and I live in a place of quiet peace.  So many don't have that.  Here, we manufacture problems.  (Eyeroll and deep and abiding antipathy  in the direction of the premiers office)  but that is enough of that.  

And this morning, after what feels like an entire month of rain, the sun is shining and I can do laundry.  That's a statement you won't read on this blog often.  The idea that I am glad to do laundry is...well odd.  The water use ban is to avoid septic overflow and backup into homes and basements.  It sure isn't because of a lack of local water.  

And that is what my world has today.  Good thought and sunshine.  It's nice.  

Just right.

I gave myself the weekend off from the Geddy Tee.  It 8snt that I was tired of it.  It is that a break will keep me loving this knit.  

I decided to knit the swatch for my Piennar top.  I pulled out the linen and the Mikonos and began.  It seemed okay.  The yarn was a good match and it made a nice fabric but in a very short time I had to stop.  It had nothing to do with the laces knit 4 together.  My thumb started acting and I stopped to prevent any further injury.  I am really heartbroken over this.  Back that dream goes into the dreams bin inside my head.  Linen saved for later.  I was so looking forward to this top and this yarn.

I have dozens of things I could have picked up but I dipped into the box with the blankets.  The blankets have their own container so that all the WIPs can fit in the WIPs bin.  The Sweet Shop Blanket is the cherries knitting and after sad knitting, I wanted cheery knitting.  

This is the last colour of yarn for the blanket.  All neon, green, yellow, pink, and orange.  I would have loved to have a brilliant bright blue but none was to be had when I bought the yarn.  

Do you see the glitch?  

There was a point where a stitch popped of the needle and though I was sure I got both stitches on that decrease, it seems I did not.  I'm glad it showed up now though.  It has been sewn in and is secure.  

Just what I was looking for.
