the future is bright...




...the future is so very, very yellow.

I've knit about 3 and a half foot of 4 foot wide yellow fun for blanket. So far, I've used up 14 out of 40 balls of this stuff. I think I may have overbought slightly. I would say I'll use it up for something else, but there is a slight problem with that. I'm starting to get ever so slightly sick at the sight of yellow fun fur.

My only hope at the moment is that my tolerance for it will return once this project is completed, or this will become a huge white elephant

I also finished some socks in an unknown colourway of opal. Can't say the colourway impresses me greatly, but they are comfy in a plain wool sock sorta way.




Unfortunately, there's no show off the baby photos this post. She isn't well and isn't really looking her best right now. I will save taking more pictures for when she is at her cutest.

However, I asked on knittyboard and I'll ask here, do you have any project as crazy as a giant yellow fun fur blanket? If so, share the madness and tell me all about it.

No, don't get rid of that Fun Fur! Kiddo can always go as Big Bird for Halloween... until high school graduation! Just add a couple of balls' worth every year, and there you go.

I love the funfur blanket! I was reading the funfur secrets on Rav and had to come look!

As long as you don't send it to me. Whatever you do.. do NOT send it to me. (Though I must admit, I'm gaining a sick fascination with this blanket.. to the point of wondering just how soft it would be)
