<3 Congratulations. That is a happy thing.

[lynedd]

I'm really glad to be done with that particular burden. And socks! I don't even like knitting socks! But I love this yarn still, and it's too tiny to do much else with it.

Well, you could do a scarf or wrap/shrug or arm-warmers or cowl? There's an amazing cowl pattern on knitty this winter that would look beautiful on you.

[lynedd]

True. There's a smoke-ring cowl pattern from Knitty I think last winter that would work, too.

I actually have four pairs of socks queued up for the coming year; I may not get past the first one, but I like the idea of wearing socks I've made that fit my long skinny-bone feet.

The yarn sounds lovely. And the ability to move forward is a happy thing, indeed.

[lynedd]

Yes, letting go and moving on; it's time.

Thanks, honey.

[strixluna]

That sounds like a very cathartic and wise frogging experience. (((hugs)))

[lynedd]

Sometimes these things just have to be done. *nods*
