Do you have a certain yarn that you can't resist? (silly question, eh?!!) No matter where to see it, you have an almost visceral need to have it in your stash. Most of the time, there is some of that yarn on your needles, in a wonderful project that gives you such joy.... plus you have several finished objects in that yarn, yet you never tire of knitting with it.
Jitterbug is that yarn for me....but not the "new" colors that are tonal and muted...oh, no...too tame... it is the older, vintage colorways that I love (Jitteryknitter is now shaking her head and saying, "no, no no!"). The colors just sing with happy sunshine, and the twist is the most excellent I've ever knit with - tight and even....oh, I do love this yarn!!
Lucky for me, I found another skein of that vintage Jitterbug...just when #2 daughter had asked me to cast on my last of this Popsicle colorway....Isn't it so lovely?
I love love love Jitterbug yarn, especially the "old" colors that are so bright and cheery. Thankfully my youngest daughter loves the wild colors as well, so these Jitterbug socks are for her. I'm not very far in the knitting, but I will enjoy all of it.
Ahhhh, knitting with my beloved Jitterbug....very good, indeed!
When my daughter asked me to drive her to practice on this pouring rain evening, I thought I would take this sunshine "zinnia" brightness to the coffee shop and brighten up my raining evening.
It worked. Although the rain kept pouring down and the wind kept blowing, my zinnia garden kept growing more lovely each row!
