Color and ears
The good news is that Em didn’t complain about her tooth late last night. The bad news is that she did complain about her ear. This morning she even said, “I think I might have to get someone else’s ear.” So apparently it’s bad enough that she wants an ear transplant. This is troubling because we went to the doctor on Monday, so you’d think that in the course of a week it would have healed more. But no, she says it feels just as uncomfortable (she seldom uses “painful”) as before she went, and she feels like she doesn’t have any earwax. I’ve got a call in to the doctor’s office and am waiting for a nurse to call me back. They do have weekend hours so we might be seen today.
In non-sad news, I’m knitting a baby sweater from my handdyed yarn. It’s knitting up well and looking great for a nice traditional pastel blue sweater for a baby boy. The problem is that I don’t think there’ll be quite enough to make it as big as I’d like. I’m going to have to stretch it by adding something else.
I’m really tired after a couple of days of no sleep, so I don’t know that I trust my judgement. I knitted it too small at left and added this purple stripe to see how the colors looked together. Then I ripped it out and started it over again at the proper size, and am considering using lavender for a 1×1 ribbed edge at the cuffs/collar/hem.
In your opinion:
The husband has ventured out for a treat we haven’t gotten in a couple of years: Waffle House waffles. Em and I love these. It’ll be a nice comfort food for her. He just got back, so it’s waffle time.
ETA: We’re seeing the doctor today. I’ll keep you posted.
Hiya Hiya Hiya!
I voted for the purple stripe as it’s for a boy. Now I know colors shouldn’t be gender specific but the purple has enough “girlie” in it to counter act it…lol. Hey girl, grab some sleep somewhere! If the doc gives Em some knockout pills, you sleep when she does! I’d hate for you to get cranky! I’ve NEVER seen you cranky but I’ve been keeping tabs on the way you play an online fantasy game (via your posts). And you scare me! (winks) LOL

My fingers are crossed that the meds help. And remember ” There is never a bad time for waffles”

I’d go with the lavender. There are hints of it throughout the yarn, so I think it will accent it well. I think the purple just looks too bright and washes out the subtle blues and purples of the main color.

I voted for lavender. From the pictures, it looked like there was a touch of lavender in the blue yarn, and the lavender looks like it blends in well. The purple looks like it has a little too much pink to blend well. I would also say that the lavender could very easily be a stripe also.

Do you have enough lavender for a hood rather than a collar? I think the more intentional you make it look the better. Although I think they both look fine. The magenta does seem to make it more unisex and thus more hand-me-down potential.
