First time I've ever spotted a fledgling, I'm so excited! I only saw it because Mama was hanging around. Don't worry, I didn't get any closer than this, hence the photo quality😂.
I included a picture of Mama, just because I was so happy to finally catch her still. She loves to buzz up on me when I'm outside and then take off, she's very nosy.
I opened the bin to find something a little funky to make her leg warmers. But there was the Artful Yarns Galaxy, lurking in the corner, shaming me for having brought it home when we couldn't even sell it on clearance like 20 years ago. And of course, it was the first thing she saw. Those little hands moved so fast.
"It's so pretty! Can you make me something?"
No, that's for something else. No, that's your sister's. No, that yarn has a witch's curse on it. "Sure!"
Now I'm sitting here staring at this pile of dead muppets with a very sweet request to make her something. A poncho? A poncho. Okay, that's not too bad...
I have enough of the blue to make her a sweater. I should definitely do that, right? Little muppet sweatered child running around... Okay, I may have completely lost my mind at this point.
Also, what hatred must someone be carrying in their heart to decide to put eyelash yarn in hanks? Who hurt them? 😂 So now I'm sitting back here in like, 2004, hand winding eyelash yarn because my most knitworthy child can't be refused.
So many flowers😭. The summer in the desert is so unfair to tomatoes...
I'm planning on making Flaming June from Knitty(last image), using Malabrigo sock in Anniversario as the main color. I was all set to use Alcaucil as the contrast color, but now that I've wound it up it just seems too green-grey. But I also have this ball of Alice, which I think would go with it much better but I just can't decide.
I'm planning on using the darkest hank of Anniversario to the far right for the bottom, fading in the middle one as I go up, and then a mix of the middle and left hank for the top and sleeves.
