My Haiku

Oh those fiddly bits.

How I hate those fiddly bits.

Begone! Fiddly bits!

It's Christmas!

Well, not really, but it IS snowing and I have this to play with:

It's a bag of sock bits from Koigu that I picked up from the LYS last Thursday night.

I'm using it to make another Simple-Yet-Effective Shawl, but a much, much larger one than I made last time. That one is so small that I'm not quite sure how to wear it.

It's fun to pick and choose from all the yummy yarns from this bag of yarn, but I did forget that they need to be wound into balls! I have a swift and ball winder, so don't feel too sorry for me. (Like you were going to...)

It Ain't Braggin'

If it's true.

And it's true. I cast off the Simple Yet Effective Shawl and had just this much yarn left from the two skeins. (I do keep George busy, don't I?)

However, I shouldn't be braggin' when what I did was pure, dumb luck. And that's what it was. I had finished the variegated yarn and then had a bit of the solid blue left, and decided to cast off.

La, la, la, and then, yikes! Do I have enough? And I did. Whew...

Two skeins of Koigu do not make even a large scarf, let alone a shawl, with this pattern, but I'm happy with it anyway.
