Get me outa here - I'm a vegetarian!
Q. What do you stock if you are at an exhibition, don't have much yarn, don't seem to be a natural yarn stockist. A. Why, Colinette of course. In my defence, I was forced to buy it because (a) It was PINK (Project Spectrum colour for March) (b) It was named after this girl. As you can see, I just had to buy some 'Isis'. It was all lonely. Honest.
On the (Project Spectrum theme, I have just finished a wee summer scarf. It's a bit of a cheat, really. Next month's colours are yellow and orange, so I'm bridging the gap between this month and next with this: Dontcha just love those hot summer colours. Here's hoping we get a bit of hot summer to go with it. I'm a bit naffed off on the Colinette front. I do realise that it's my own fault, but that doesn't help - does it ever? I'm nearly finished Robin which, if this page is the same as I copied (if you see what I mean) is the little T-shirt at the top of left of the page. Now, I was a bit sceptical when it said 2 skeins, so I bought 3. Did I check the dye lots? No. Does that make me a twerp? Yes. Take a look at this -

Am doing swan, and adjusting pattern like mad otherwise my sister will be getting a long coat instead of a short cardi!
Personally I think the haphazard way that it knits up is part of the attraction, I like all bits here and there.
Still don't have the heart to frog my Robin and start again, but will need to do something!
I think the Colinette patterns are all over the place, and am glad I'm not a complete beginner otherwise would've given up.
