Hi! Happy January! Is that a thing that people say? Happy January anyway :)
So far I’ve spent quite a lot of this calendar year eating nachos (YES) and watching the West Wing on netflix (YES) with my favourite person :) I have not been doing any knitting (broken record: no-crafting-for-wrist-healing-for-as-long-as-I-can-stand-it-so-that-hopefully-it-really-heals-this-time).
But! I did do a little bit of knitting back in mid-December that I haven’t shown you yet. (It was a bad idea wrists-wise, but I can still show it to you. Yeah!)
Remember this neon yarn that I gushed about (from Vancouver’s RainCityKnits) which I picked up at this summer’s Fibrations festival in Victoria?
I love speckley, sprinkley yarns like this one, even though I sometimes have a hard time finding patterns that really make them shine. I’m using it to make (Guelph’s) Ash Kearns’ pattern, Clincher, and I’m still pretty obsessed with it. (Also kind of pleased that both the yarn and the pattern are by Canadians :) )
I think the combination of yarn and pattern here is FANTASTIC. Kudos to RainCity dyer (and lovely person) Krista for doing such a beautiful and non-pool-ey dye job!
Project glamour shots time? I think so.
Neon yarn + simple, addictive pattern + bright happy project bag = COME ON
Finally, regularly scheduled cat leg cameo:
Yeah. I really, really love how this yarn is knitting up, and when I’m back in fighting form knitting-wise, I’m going to be all over this prettiness. It just makes my heart happy!
barf green is best 
Your project bag!! LOVE IT!!!! I am a green girl too.
Yay thank you!! It’s one of my favourites :)
Your yarn is indeed happy colors!! Miss New Zealand’s leg is quite attractive and they both look great against your gray sofa!!
Ha ha thanks!! Silly cat, she insists on photobombing EVERY time.
Perhaps slightly off topic, but a friend gave me a zippy pouch just like yours and it’s so useful for my fiddly knitting accessories. I ought to make some but I’m scared of zips ;)
Not off topic at all! The pouch is one of my favourite bags – I know I won’t lose anything when I use it! I was JUST thinking this week that I ought to learn how to insert a zipper when sewing…
