Han found an old skein of yarn at a garage sale in a basket labeled , “Everything, $1.00”.

When she brought it home, she asked for socks. No surprise there. “Of course,” I said. I wasn’t sure it would make a pair, but I was willing to give it a shot. So I made some shorties. This yarn was obviously discontinued, and more was nowhere to be found.

The yarn is Coats and Clark, Red Heart, Knitting Worsted, 100% virgin wool. The colorway is Ancient Gold. It’s actually pretty cool, and I liked working with it, and I love the color.  There’s little black fibers running through it.

This was a nice reprieve from larger projects while my damn arthritic thumb healed from overuse or the pain at least subsided a little.

I’ve already given up needlework, weaving and spinning, and book making. Must I give up knitting, as well?

Say it isn’t so. Guess not. A year later, I’m still knitting.
