Remember the lace I was whining about? Admit it, you remember "the lace whining" because it made you want to drive all the way to my house to smack me....
Well, I frogged it.
But hold on!
I frogged it today so I can add a carry along yarn of Rowan kid silk haze, which I totally think looks like a dream. Since my original lace yarn was a red--a little more on the blue red than the yellow red side of the spectrum- I was looking for something that would coordinate, but contrast. I found the most wonderful color. It is decadent, sexy and a little slinky...Then I realized. CRAP! I am using the same colors of the RED HAT SOCIETY LADIES...So every time I wear this scarf, everyone will assume I am a Red Hatter...and I am not even at the age they'll let me join yet. I must say though, their colors totally rock, AND I am going to wear the shawl anyway. I'll just have to make sure I behave scandalously so everyone will wonder...RIGHT, LIKE THEY DON'T WONDER ABOUT ME ALREADY!
So I now have two balls of yarn waiting to be wound together at the shop tomorrow. I think it will be easier to work with the yarns already combined. I intend to go up a needle size or two also. One it is done, I am going to add a seed bead border and fringe. It's all about the bling, baby!

No pictures of the yarn combo (sounds like there should be an order of fries included..) so I thought I'd distract you with more flower pictures from Botanica....

So instead of one threadlike strand of yarn, you're using two, one of which is so fuzzy and sticky, you will never be able to frog again. ;)
I'm sure it's lovely. Just teasing you.
