Addition by Subtraction KAL - Prologue

Using two stash yarns. Better than none. Frogged a baby sweater I barely started years ago for the variegated fingering yarn. Holding Madeline Tosh lace weight yarn doubled because I like the color, and it had been languishing for years, because hell if I am knitting simmering with lace weight.

The lys is ding a knit along but I don't think I'm going to be able to make the meetings so I jumped right in.

Color A (Errata): madelinetosh BFL Sock, colorway Blood Runs Cold (red)

Color B (Rip): madelinetosh Lace held doubled, colorway Candlewick (amber)

Color C (Dee Kay): Hedgehog Fibres Sick Yarn, colorway Eel (blue and green)

Color D (Garter): Cascade Yarn Heritage Paints, colorway Fall Foliage (oranges)

Realized it's going to be a very primary shawl... Hopefully it turns out more cohesive than I'm expecting...

Loot

Shouldn't have, but went to the LYS today.

Got blocking wires, because I have a UFO amidst done that would benefit from them

Got a pattern, Addition by Subtraction by TryStitchual Designs, two skeins of yarn (to go with the pattern),  and a Noro magazine, because it had patterns I couldn't resist.

Will be going back. They said they could order Addi Clicks for me!

Happy Homes

I recently visited family and gifted my aunt one of the skeins I picked up at the Harvard Alpaca Ranch, plus one of my handspun skeins, Desert Dusk.

She was thrilled.

She crafted it into a trivet, and I think it was a great use of the limited yardage.
