I went to Fiber Frolic! It was last minute, but the weather was perfect (translation: cold and rainy), and it's just up the road, so I figured I'd go and see if anything grabbed me. And apparently I'm feeling this pinky/purpley/orangey vibe right now. I am, I assure you, as [...]

Grumble grumble grumble. This is Quite Close to being what I want, but that light purple floof isn't quite right. I need a darker floor, for reasons that will become apparent in time. So this will work as proof of concept (because oh, oh I can see what's happening well [...]

Um. You knew the fiddly part part was coming, right? You've been here long enough to know I wasn't actually just going to leave well enough alone. Oh no. There needs to be something fancy going on...

Ahem. Yes please. I told you it would work out! That's the yarn from the last post swatched up to make a new version of Constellate. And oh, oh this is going to work out well. Very well indeed.

What? Me? A problem? Too much yarn? I have absolutely no idea what you might mean...⁠ This is the absolutely gorgeous yarn (Seven Sisters Arts' color wheels, which I am helpless to resist) I got to replace the yarn that went and played tricks on me a little while ago. [...]
