I fell in love with this yarn a good two years ago... (gosh...doesn't time fly?!!) at John Lewis, and as at the time I couldn't afford any more, I just picked up the odd ball, popped it in my stash, admired it every now and then and then did nothing with it, except stroke it when I happened to walk past...
...that was till I got the urge, the other day, to see it knitted up in a hurry... and when I say urge, I do mean an uncontrollable frenzy to do something with it now!... so of course, I turned it into a hat, what else? ;)
Then my friend Ste saw it when I was still knitting it and immediately claimed it as hers... I say "claimed it" in the loosest possible sense, a more accurate account would be: she screamed at the top of her lungs "It's mine, it's mine!"... fair enough, I thought... so off it went...
And now I don't have the beautiful lonely ball stagnating in my stash anymore, and I don't have anything to show for it either... I should have left it well alone... yes I know that now... ;) |
