It's all the muse's fault

[janestarz]

Muse^*) was bothering me for a while. I don't have any fluffy vests to wear that actually match my colour scheme. I would have liked a blue vest, because blue matches everything. It doesn't match teal, but I can wear it with purple, pink, gray and other blues. So my muse piped up with "You can knit! Knit one! It'll be awesome!" ^**)

And so I found myself today, shopping for yarn at Smitje, while colleague Kim and I had coffee on our free day off.

I need to feel wool before I buy it, because my skin doesn't like all wools. But today I ran into some dark turqouise/petrol coloured 100% virgin wool superwash. It was only € 3,05 per skein and they had a sale: buy 10, get one free. It's nice and thick (I'm not completely at home yet in the fingering weight/DK/super bulky way of measuring wool) and Ravelry states it's in the "worsted" catagory. I've put it in my stash, but the picture is a little more blue than the yarn is (it's really a greenish-petrol-blue colour).

And because I'm a sucker for sock wool and the Eternal Sufferer from Second Sock Syndrome, I also picked up some Schachenmayr Regia Mix-It! which will possibly become a pair of gloves in the same colourway as my soon-to-be vest.
Here's to hoping that'll motivate me to finish one or two projects I already have cast on.

I love the colour of the Sachenmayer wool... hmmm... let's see if I can find that one in my favorite woolshop.

Second: Muses can be a pain in the a*** sometimes...

The Annelle yarn is pretty much the same colour teal, but it doesn't show up right in the picture.

Oh muses, where would we be without them? Good luck! The yarn looks beautiful!
