Finally, I have reached the Second Color phase of the (at least for now) Extremely Green Blanket. That’s Debbie Bliss Cashmerino in the lyrically named color 300502, which I will translate to “Grassy Green”. On Friday, I braved the hordes (I’m so glad they don’t sell yarn at Best Buy) and went on a hunt for the third color and failed. Maybe I want this? This? I don’t know, I can’t tell. It looks like this project will be slow going, which is fine, because:
there’s this, which still needs sleeves (and which, I found out, matches my pajamas perfectly, which tells you just about how often I got dressed this weekend) and:
this, which isn’t even the only stranded knitting with a steek that’s happening around here at the moment, wow, I really feel like stranded knitting right now, and there’s also something else in dark brown, the photographs of which look like a—well, like a brown sweater with the lights off, because this is December in the North, and there is no light anywhere. Gloom. It is downright dim. Cozy. Hygge.
I made Leftover Mashed Potato Soup this morning, in about five minutes flat. It’s so good I want to eat it for breakfast.
