i think there may be something seriously wrong with me. i cannot stop cabling! ever since i designed this pattern it's like my "go to comfort knit". now everyone says, "you should TOTALLY sell those" but let's be real. the minute it becomes a "have to" it will lose it's sex appeal. this is a sunshiney yellow version for my sweet friend heather. honestly she is the nicest person on the face of the earth and as i always tell her she is so kind, she makes princess diana and mother teresa look like harlots. how many vegan PETA members do you know that will cook a steak for their hubby. she's a grand example of staying true to one's convictions without foisting it on others or making them feel guilty. see? told ya she's wonderful.... mother teresa who?
heather loved her sunshiney yellow cabled clutch. it helped that the fine people of brown sheep yarn co keep their nebraska sheep so happy. i wasn't about to knit a wool clutch for heather from abused overfed new zealand sheep. i have another one of these little babies in persian peacock turquoise just waiting to be finished for my adoptive mom. i've been waiting to surprise her.
i just finished knitting a yoga mat bag and felted. i fear as the pattern described it may take longer to dry than to knit. at least i used up four skeins out of my embarrassingly enormous yarn stash. i knew it was out of hand, but then one day chris went to retrieve some tp from the annex and when he opened the door several balls fell upon his beautiful shaved head. i happened by at the time and was trying to make a surreptitious retreat, but he spotted me. he just glanced at me from the side as the yarn kept falling and said "andiiiiiiieeeee...." in that sweet "oh honey, you're hopeless" way. i marched my arse down to target that same week and got a little tote to shove some in neatly. at least he wasn't concussed!
