The Growing Enigma
Why look, it's actually a knitting photo!
Yes, this is the yarn that's hopelessly tangled.
I actually cut it today and started knitting the de-tanglified part. But there is still a nasty lot of it that's really seriously tangled up:
I will either have to spend a good deal of time and energy getting this part un-tangled, or I will have to find another skein of Colinette Enigma in Morocco. Probably the latter is the more appealing choice. Because we all know how much I love to buy yarn. Maybe Kristine has some I can pick up in a week and a half when I'm in DC... because you know her shop is on my list of things to do down there.
The other thing I'm thinking about is buying some of this for which to make an Aran-y sweater. Not that I don't already have enough WIP's going on. Still, there's something about making a traditional Aran in a traditional yarn. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of this yarn? Snow Goose Aran? They say it still has the lanolin, etc., which to me makes it sound like a great yarn to make an Aran. That's the only problem with mail order for yarns you don't know personally!
Anyhow, here's a photo from the Republican National Convention:
Yes, that's George W. Bush on the podium. Hey, just becuase I was there and took the photo doesn't mean I don't think he's a stupid bastard... but still, isn't it kinda cool that I got to be there and take the photo?

the knitted fabric looks fantastic, worth the struggle. The kotted yarn looks like a bargain sale of fishing lures, I don't envy you trying to sort the mess out.
DC? cool. I only live about twenty miles from Knit Happens. I went by there about three weeks ago on a Monday and it was closed. :( I am waiting for the weather to cool off before i make the trek to Old Town again. The Shop s very easy to get to from the king street metro stop, although is is a bit of a hike. she can give you directions.
