Spoiled for Choice
I'd been trying to pick out something to knit for Bell's Long Lacy Summer KAL, dithering through book after book, and finally I heard my great-grama's voice in my head, saying, "You're spoiled for choice, young lady!"
So I just picked something. It's not as though I can't pick something else later, sheesh.
This is Nr. 5 from page 42 of the Christine Duchrow book
Everything's Better with Purple?
I overdyed some yarn with a union dye, and in order to use up the contact dye, yes, Mom, that is the t-shirt you gave me for my birthday. I needed something light-colored and cotton, and it was "Tag, you're it!" on the t-shirt.

I had a hard time,too. I thought of it as an embarassment of riches. And had the same duh moment when I realized I could knit one now and one later.....
You'd think we were smarter than that!
Spoiled for choice is right -- isn't it funny how we panic about making a choice to use up the yarn, when there's always another project waiting around the corner?
oh i've been looking at her patterns on Rav. Most impressive.
"Spoiled for choice." What a wise woman your granny was. It seems to be hereditary, too. So what will this round lace thing be?
Purple! THAT'S the other topic in your blog. Purple totally rocks! Love the T, love the yarns. Good job!
