So, today was payday, and I celebrated by caving to the delicious Katia ‘Nordic’. I’ve been walking through the yarn smorgasbord at Large Chain Craft Shop and stroking it lovingly for some time now, and today decided that her beautiful blueness will become my new hat.
In other news, I made the two pictured scarves in the last couple of days, knit mostly with some Katia ‘Niebla’ I bought on sale for $1 per ball last year (if only the ‘Nordic’ didn’t cost 16 times that much!) They’re based on a Craftster post I read, and are delightfully spring-like. The one on the right is called Rusty Springfield, and still needs some long coppery tassles — it will be sent off as part of a swap package. The one on the left is named Cornflake Swirl because it reminds me of Tori Amos’ hair. Which I will see in all it’s IRL glory on the 12th of May at Hamer Hall — woot! Anyway, this scarf is all finished, and will go into the shop sometime soon. But not tomorrow morning, because I have to start work at 8:30am, and I have to get up and make green tomato relish before I leave at 7:30am…
