In Townhouse Yarns Chatham Lace

80% Extrafine Merino Wool, 20% silk; colour Valentine

.... met Jenny stocking This Is Knit (http://www.thisisknit.ie/) with her very own new hand dyed yarns, and kept going…  then came back next day to get this sumptuous pink which, once seen, had lived on in my imagination to the point I more or less had to go and claim it.  

...but that is why I’m now nearly bouncing off the ceiling with  … don’t misunderstand me: the yarn is still beautiful and so is the pattern.... but I just knit Left Front shaping on the Right Front side, and anyone who ever ripped superfine lace back will understand why I’m now on the verge of casting not just the project, but also the fixtures and fittings of the room out... no... through the window.

"Let it roll, baby, roll..." (RIP Jim Morrison today) is taking on a whole new meaning for me..

Another idea came from a friend who suggested shots of tequila...

And only last night I was listening to Handel and meditating on the concept of lace-making inspiring practice of virtues you spend your life trying to instill in your children - tenacity, adherence to good patterns, which may not immediately make sense, but pay high dividends down the line…

AAAAAGHHHHHHH

The colour is still lovely though..

Maybe time to go for a run;

And, like Scarlett, I'll think about it tomorrow.
