I was bored at work so I randomly googled “knit blog” and found you! I immediately got sucked in by your hilarious writing style and have now lost the last two hours of my life to reading your blog. I was thrilled to discover that you live in Toronto (or at least near enough to know all the good yarn stores) because I will be moving to Toronto next month.
And that ends my ramble.

Good luck with the Ravelympics. I’ve officially given up without even trying :)

I have some silk/wool and the twin waves cables from Barbara Walker 2nd treasury are gorgeous with it and realy a lot of fun, not boring, to knit. My yarn is solid red though. I’m sure you will find the right show-offy stitch for your yarn. Those swimmers are something, aren’t they?

Your yarn, so bold and true and strong.

Like the beating of a human heart.

I wonder if she talks?

i had the same problem with some Disco Lights yarn I bought. I tried 15 million stitches and couldn’t settle on anything I liked. I ended up knitting it, but I still dont like it and might frog it….

LOL – Yarn princess. I’ve got a few of those too.

It does look lovely. I’m sure you can whip it into shape.

My but you’re hard on yourself! I think all the peripheral things we do that aren’t actual knitting are helping in the creative process. For example, I love the sketch and hope you will knit that up this fall or winter. And sorting through the stash is a good way to get inspired too. [Pats back] There, there, now, it’s all OK.

Well she’s back, lol, I wondered where you had gotten off to.

Bravo for starting the Ravelolympics, I chickened out. I am planning on being a cheerleader for all your knitletes.

I agree with the person who suggested the holding hands feeding ducks pattern, and I’ll also suggest the chevron scarf. Maybe the bratty yarn is lonely, and would like to be knitted with another yarn to keep it company?

Good luck with the ravelympics- I’m doing it too! I’ve chosen the gathered pullover for the sweater sprint. I forsee carpal tunnel in my future….

I was going to suggest My So-Called Scarf but I see someone beat me to it. It looks lovely with sparkly variegateds.

Good luck on the Olympics!

Glad to see you up and about, the beaded scarf looks GORGEOUS.
For evil silk, perhaps this stitch pattern?

looks pretty nice with variagated yarn.
