yarn after flying off my swift and landing on floor
Recently, I splurged on some Interlacement New York ribbon yarn, Carbon Dioxide Colorway. You might remember I whipped up a smaller skein of this with some Pheonix’s Bamboo to make a shawl for my book signing last spring.
My family and I are going to Naples, Florida the second week of February and I thought I would knit up yet another shapely tank, but after giving way the last luxurious knit due to weight loss, and knowing I may be a completely different size this summer than I will be for Florida, I’m hesitant to committ to resizing a pattern for a splurge yarn, only to give it away in June. So, I was thinking about a shawl or a shrug, but wondered:
[cue Carrie Bradsaw voice over]
Is the season of the shrug behind us? Are we destined to be out of style by the time we finally cast off or can we ever cast on ahead of the curve?
