Black does not photograph well
I had a lovely photo essay for you all, but damn if I can see the subject. Last summer, I searched endless for the perfect ball of black yarn. I bought close to $100 of single skeins of all different kinds of black yarn. Cashmerino, bulky wool, alpaca, you name it, I knit up a swatch. I finally decided on Berroco Soft Twist Bulky to make my version of the Magknits Mirror Mirror Challenge. . I cast on, knit away, ripped back, bought new neddles, cast on again and knit me up a sweater that , from the arm joins down, was the perfect for me. But I f*cked up the neck shapping, BIG TIME. I have to struggle to get it over my head and when I do finally get it on, I have to tie a very big scarf around my neck to hide the horrible job I did from the shoulders up.
So I did it, I ripped back, picked up, resumed my saddle shoulder shaping and am now up to the neck - and am trying to figure out if 2×2 ribbing is enough to give it some structure for a turtleneck. I’ve got tonight to work on it, but then it needs to go back into the pile for a week. Why? Because I am going on vacation!
DH, the kids and I are off to a week with my parents in sunny Florida. They are in Naples and insist that we can not stay with them the whole time - well their grandchildren must stay, but DH and I have been booted out while they spoil our brood. Where to go? MIAMI - South Beach to be specific. I’ve never been, am super excited to go. I’m taking my green shawl in hand painted rayon ribbon and bamboo - easy, portable, light weight - all the things that vacation should be.
I’ve got jury duty the day after I get back - which I’ve been looking forward to for years. I do get to sit around and knit all day, right?
If you are fixing for february - good luck, stay strong and to paraphrase George Clinton - “free your yarn and your mind will follow.”

Hi Amy
It’s Amy (Dyed in the Wool) here: are you the Amy that left a comment on my blog? If not, I’ll have to try the other Amy!
Wow! This is getting confusing! :o)

another amy…. but i’m writing to ask if I can get the picture of your diaper cover from your archives. It used to show up, but now I can’t see it.

hrmmmm — maybe it’s just a local thing but I’ve heard ppl on our local (portland, OR) stitch n bitch list say that knitting needles weren’t necessarily allowed into jury duty. Perhaps you’ve already checked with the policy there… but if not, it’s something to consider.
Enjoy the vacation!
