Today was a semi-malingering day. I'm still not
well, but managed to get out to Boots and Hobbycraft (which is next door to Boots, so less cheeky than it could have been) this afternoon. Typically for me, I wanted beads in a size / colour combination that don't appear to exist - either I could get 3mm beads in cheap-fake-pearl colours, *or* a differnt size in a colour I wanted. Also typically, I've bought two colourways because I still haven't decided which I'm going to make
the gloves in pic 20/24 in. I want to do pics 13 & 14 as well, and have enough yarn - but I'm not sure which colourways to use for which thing. I have one ball of
Jay, and two of each of
New Storm and
Raphael. Except that the New Storm would look lovely as the gloves, but Jay & Raphael don't go together at all, and if I do the gloves in Jay I'll also want them in New Storm, and then won't wear the Jay ones, and however much I love the Raphael
as a colour, it won't go with anything else I wear unless I mix it with monochrome. I think I'm going to have to buy some more yarn. Woe.
