This arrived today. It's the self striping sock club yarn for June and it's very nice. A bit on the bright side for me, but we all know I have close relatives who love a bright sock.
Its arrival was timely, as we are off tomorrow for ten days and as it is here I will be able to take it away with me and work on it while I'm gone.
We are going to North Wales for a week, which will be lovely if the weather is good and slightly problematic if it isn't; after that I am repeating the Lay Family Yarn weekend dyeing retreat that I did last year. Still very undecided about the inspiration image for colours but I'm sure I'll make my mind up before I get there. Possibly.
June has been a lousy ( or good depending on your point of view) month for stash enhancement already and the retreat will only make things worse ( or better, again depending on POV) as I will come away with a 100g skein that I dye myself plus a bunch of 10g minis; numbers dependent on how many participants there are as we each get a mini of everyone else's effort, plus of course whatever I let myself be beguiled into buying from their shop. Ah well.
Onhte bright side I'll be taking several straightforward projects away with me to knit on at the retreat as we don't spend two full days slaving over hot dye pans so the hope is to get a few grams worked up while I sit and chat. And there will still be one or two June days left when we get back to use up a bit more.
Hey, it is what it is. Obviously no blog posts while I'm away but there should be lots to blog about when I get back. Readers concerned about The Cat Cosimo will be pleased to hear that Son No 2 is taking up residence to look after him and keep him company while we are away.
A bientot!
