Sometimes The Yarn Just Knows
As tends to happen when one reaches a certain age, the tiny humans begin making their appearance with some frequency.
These tiny humans need blankets. It's a necessity. And blankets of the hand-knit variety are my personal favorite.
The variegation in the yarn makes it a bit tricky to see. Someone told me the favorite colors of this Mommy are teal and gray, and I happened to have those very same colors in the stash. I've had a few skeins of Swizzle in the stash for quite a bit of years. I knew I liked the yarn, but it hadn't told me what it wanted to be until just that moment.
Maybe it knew all along, it just wasn't time yet.
