It's Not Easy Photoing Green
Every picture of this ****ing color looks different. It's really a lovely color, and I wish you could see it. Here is another photo of it (from a yarn shop's site) which also has a different look than any of my photos of it.
Regardless, it's a lovely color. And it makes lovely bobbles.
And it's a whole heck of a lot happier to spend time knitting this yarn than it is to read the ****ing news. Seriously, I might just stop. (The news, that is...)
I am enjoying the patterns of the GAAA so far. The ones I have done have been very easy to do - rather memorizeable, in the case of the first one and this one, and even the cables on the side of the tree, and in the case of the tree itself, rather intuitive. Or else I'm just getting into the "zone" with the whole cable thing. I'm off from work tomorrow so I'll knit and ponder this some more...

It's sumptous! I started making the childrens Aran had in Gladys Thompson's book which has M5 bobbles galore and I'm loving them!
