Kiss My Knits!

That Pink Bag of Doom was SO pink that it actually stained my plastic needles. That’d be them on the right.

One 7-foot (pre-felting) handle is done, the other is half done, and now it’s on the back burner while I do Jayney stuff again.

As a side note, one of the handles on my 2004 Booga Bag (pictured here blocking and covered with fluff) is nearly worn through from me carrying too much in it for too long. I may have to actually – gasp! – BUY a purse!


In trying to find the softest possible green yarn for a hat for a friend, I’ve been coming up snake-eyes. I found some heavenly-soft Misti Suri Alpaca, an alpaca/silk blend, that is like buttah. Unfortunately, it’s also a much lighter green than I’d like.

I do not want my friend to look like a chia.

I may order the darker green pictured on the Misti Alpaca site. I’d love to find something even softer, (Rowan Cashsoft DK?) but I hate to order something specifically for its softness when I haven’t been able to touch it first.

I’m very open to suggestion for super-soft yarns, although I’m trying to stay away from anything too textured, like Chinchilla, just because it would obscure the pattern of Odessa by Grumperina, which is what I’d be knitting.

In health news, the same stomach crud is upon me tonight as last night. Could it be the Thin Mints? Say it ain’t so!
