Anyone? Anyone? Lamb's Pride?
Does anybody happen to have a skein of Lamb's Pride Bulky, color M-05 (onyx), dyelot 0484? Just sitting around? Useless? Without purpose?
Well, I can give it a good home. I've run out of yarn for Skully. And it's not like I'm just barely done. I have a WHOLE FUCKING SLEEVE left. I do not understand this. I'm getting gauge. I bought enough yarn.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
I didn't tell y'all (it was too painful) about the other day when I ran out of yarn for the Interlocking Balloons scarf. When I went to Stitches, I bought another skein of Misti Alpaca, but in a different dyelot. I mean, I HAD the scarf with me, I compared it to the new skein, it looked fine, and then when I was about six rows into the knitting, I noticed a VERY distinct change. Nathan *really* wanted to wear the scarf, so I finished it, but it still rankles me. In fact, last night I dreamed that I found two skeins of Misti in the right colorway. Boy, was I crabby to wake up and realize I'd dreamed it.
Anyway, shall I risk this again? Should I just buy the first skein of Lamb's Pride I see?
Aaaaargh.

If you were colorblind like me, none of this would matter. Really, it wouldn't.

You are f!@#ing killing me! You crack me up, you really do. I do that - dream the thing I want and then wake to find that it was only a dream and that I am NOT married to George Clooney OR drinking lemoncello at my lakeside villa. To quote a wise woman I know, "Aaaaaargh."
