Virtue. Yeah, virtue!

Wow. It feels, e-ehem, virtuous and frugal to make use of oddments from stash. Which is really a weird feeling since the words virtuous or frugal in no way apply to me. Yarn that otherwise would have just waited there. Forever. Imagine it longer occupying valuable stash space because it was simply too good to dispose of, and there’s not really enough for anything. Well, not until that brainwave you’ve been missing happens along. While organising the office (putting stuff away) for Dad’s visit last night, 2-1/2 balls of Karabella Aurora 8 left over from Wisteria just popped out of the stash, leading to this:

Hmmm…I thought there was only a ball of that left over. Worsted weight? Is the colour manly enough? Sure. Dad doesn't really care anyway just so long as it's not overtly girly or bright. It is burgundy, and I've seen him wear a burgundy shirt. That half ball means no running out. So what if this is a summer rule breaker. It's getting rid old of stash isn't it? Besides, you love using that yarn and it's a quickie (get your head out of the gutter). Dad doesn’t ask for anything, but last year he asked for mittens and you didn’t deliver. Goves it is! Move over Blueberry – you’re out of luck.


Cigar from Knitty. Again. Yes. As in the same week again.

It's peaceful in here for the moment. Peter and Dad are both upstairs sleeping for now. That will be over soon enough and it will be French style scrambled eggs and peameal bacon time. Love it.
