This week is turning out to be rather difficult for a variety of reasons (though most of them boil down to People). So perhaps it’s not surprising that when I popped into Darn It and Stitch at lunchtime for some ribbon I ended up wandering out with a skein of the new Vivacious 4-ply from Fyberspates (it may be more of a surprise that I managed to restrict myself to one skein!).
And at one point in the afternoon I decided to take it out of the paper bag and sit it on my desk where I could pet it. Maybe I should have a permanent petting skein on the desk? Though that might make people think I was weird(er)…
Oh dear I clicked on the link – no have to work WIPs this month!
Sorry! The colours are lovely, and I actually prefer the superwash merino to the Scrumptious which I do find can be a bit pilly.
Just tell other people it’s your next project. Or invite them to stroke it if they have clean hands.
Seems perfectly sensible to me!
It’s nice to have a petting skein on your desk. There’s something reassuring about having something tactile and beautiful, with lots of creative potential, there to pat.
I’m rather sorry now that I took it home last night!
A pet for work – now there’s a great plan! Much quieter and less messy than a cat.
I took the Fyberspates home, but I am wondering whether I should keep a permanent skein of yarn on my desk, it was very nice to have it there!
