Tomorrow I'll wear purple from head to toe. Goodbye, sweet Prince! I wish I'd known you better, being late to your party, but hey! at least I became an admirer before your passing. We must thank the Yarn Harlot for that, with her wonderful affection for you. I never gave you much thought until YH started writing about her "other man" (not that she'd ever turn loose of Joe! There'd be a stampede....). Now I want to actually buy some of your albums.

I know I haven't been a good blogger lately, having skipped the Outfits update last Sunday. I do have some knitting news: I finished the Allotrope Cowl! Now I can turn my mind to other knits, like the baby shawl for my grand-nephew. I've about decided to make a Pi shawl, with EZ's pithy directions in hand. I just have to figure out where & how to put some lace into it; also have to see if I have anything in the yarn stash that will serve -- I have tons of fingering yarn, a lot of solid colors but not superwash, a lot of superwash stripey stuff, just have to keep digging until I find a sufficient quantity of solid color superwash wool. Or acrylic; I'm desperate. I used to have a slough of acrylic "baby" yarn but gave away most of it. It just sat there, taunting me about my hope to be a grandmother. So of course it had to go....
