time flies
when you are knitting a boring project. the cape was bound off last night, but you know what? it is going to be frogged very soon! i really messed this thing up trying to shorten it without really paying attention to the pattern. so it doesn't look quite like the picture. i like the pattern enough that i want to knit it correctly. i will just live with the longer length which is probably the only way to get the nice shape anyways. i was pretty bummed, but i'll live. i also discovered this funny stripe that showed up in the yarn. when i frog it, i am going to try and cut that part of the yarn out so it doesn't happen on the second attempt.
i am almost settled on a yarn for my clapotis. no need to link to the pattern here, you all know it! it has taken me awhile, the plan at first was to use noro silk garden. but i changed my mind about using a striping yarn. so i knew i wanted a multi-colored, non-stripey yarn. i have been keeping my eye out and decided i would probably go with art yarns supermerino. I will order it online i think. see how confident i sound? not. i know, but my heart is really set on alchemy synchronicity in rainforest. i don't know where to get my hands on it and it is way more spendy than the supermerino. so, without further blabbing, here are the two colors i am deciding between...
both have pink, and one even has pink and green. i am split between the two. i need to decide though because i would like to have this for spring. any thoughts?
the yarn for my flower basket bag STILL is not here. maybe i did a bad thing. i ordered from an ebay seller (who has in the thousands for feeback and it is all positive) but not through an auction so i have no backup. i did not get insurance on the shipping or delivery confirmation. she said it shipped parcel post on the 11th. i should definately have it by now. i am keeping my fingers crossed there is a slip in my mailbox today. how much would that suck if it never shows up? $60 worth of yarn? ugh. i guess i better go check my mailbox now....

You know that I love pink, but I really like the green and pink combo! I love the green...umm...that's my vote!
I'll second the pink & green......it would be a PERFECT spring color combo for you!

I lean towards the all pink, because that's kind of how mine is, but I like the green a lot too, it is very springy.
And I know I'm dumb, but which supermerino is that? The Alchemy, or another brand?
I love the pink it's sooo cute, who makes that yarn by the way I'm thinking about making the scarf version of it for spring.
ahh..just get both. make a big clapper and a little one. you know you want both .... you know you want both ... you know you want both ... you are getting sleepy
