This is what I’ve been knitting, lately.

I have been dreaming of knitting this for a year or so, but would never actually commit to buying that amount of that expensive yarn. Since I’ve been a member of Ravelry, I have been spending far too many hours in the groups and forums, and was lucky enough to be the first person in the De-stashing forum to read a listing from someone who gave up her dream of a Lizard Ridge and was selling her 19 skeins of Kureyon, for very cheap.

I jumped on that like a flea on a stray dog. When the yarn arrived, however, her color choices tended to be much darker and more somber than I would have chosen. Still and all, there’s no such thing as bad color in Kureyon. This weekend, the local yummy yarn store was having a sale, so I trotted down to buy just four skeins of brighter Kureyon. I am proud to say that I left with only five skeins, but one was Kureyon sock yarn, and so didn’t count as an overage to my self-imposed limit. Hah.

I cast on last night and I am thrilled already with the way it’s going to look. Whee!
