Hexagon cardi still growing. Just about 2 balls left of the Athena Antique, going to use them to finish the sleeves then extend the bottom edge as far as I can with what's left. Ballsed up a proper collar but next time I'll know.

The largest item I've ever made, double bed sized scrap yarn blanket for the van. Used a lot of oddments and all the pink I had because I won't use anything I make in pink alone. C2C, two strands DK together, with a 6 or 5.5 hook depending on the yarn seeming thicker or thinner.

I'm so glad 5 balls of this fell into my Knitting Network basket. I don't even care if I never wear this cardigan, I'm enjoying making it, even though I frogged hours of work yesterday before I got the pattern right. The COLOURS. And it's so soft.

When people who design yarn design yarn like this, what are they expecting it will be used for?

It's not scratchy exactly, but there's not enough fluff for warmth. Should I be thinking DC (yuck, hope not) or a more open work thing like a virus or circular shawl? I have about 6 balls of it.

Found an error in my latest crochet WIP so it's sitting in the corner having a good long think about what it did, while I pretend I'm driving a lorry in Portugal.

Impulse purchase from Lidl is finally being used. I always grab too much for one small item but not enough for a big one. It feels "squeaky" and not really soft or warm but it's not going to be next to skin, the cuffs and collar will be from Paintbox aran which I hope will work up softer.

I have such an aversion to using the new things that I've pulled out an old half finished project and I'm using the old yarn instead until I feel I "deserve" to use the new one.

Which could be months from now.. But if I rush into something with new materials I aways worry I might regret it.

New yarn, new account, new post.. No clue.
