Winding up

Again, many apologies for very untimely responses to my stash sale post last week. I seriously started whining and wondering why no one wanted my yarn. Don't believe me? Ask her and her. Anyways, any guesses as to what this means?

Project Spectrum sock yarns

Yes, I have started new projects. And yes, they are the current Project Spectrum colors. But what does this really mean? ALL THE WIPs ARE NOW FOs (We'll almost. I'll explain more below)! But back to Project Spectrum, and new projects.. I have startitis. These yarns are so pretty together. I can't stop staring. And what did I spy at the farmers market this week?

Rainbow Chard

Rainbow Chard! So beautiful, I had to buy it. Check out the leaves and the stalks. It's screaming PS just like that sock yarn if I do say so myself. Now what to cook with it? That's a good question that I don't have an answer to yet. If you have any recipe recommendations I'd love to hear them.


And would you look at what the fabric store coerced me to buy? I've got socks to knit and chard to cook! The nerve!

Project Spectrum fabrics

So the almost FOs, most of them have already been worn a few times and just need a photo shoot. But the last lingering one, I need your help on. The asymmetrical cardi needs buttons. These are the buttons I initially bought for the sweater at Stitches during the Great Button Haul of 2007.

Original button selection

Nice, yes? Big, right? Right. Luckily there was another selection from the great haul that could work.

Better size..

The size is much better, but I'm really not feeling the color. I think it's too dark. What do you think? Any thoughts and suggestions on what would work better? I'm ready to wear this sweater already. This is the last step!
