Actually, truth be told, I've got the next twelve or sixteen projects planned, but for the sake of my sanity, I'm attempting to do ONE AT A TIME. It is a little hard for me, but I desperately need the lesson in patience anyway.
The next in line is called April Showers scarf, and it is a knitted lace pattern that looks well within the scope of my ability. I found the silk yarn the pattern calls for on Ravelry, from someone who was willing to let it go for $8, rather than the $26 price tag at Purl Soho. Sweet!!! The lace weight yarn the pattern calls for is likewise a ridiculous price, and so instead I bought a lovely lace weight from Knit Picks, a very reasonably priced online yarn store.
I got it yesterday, and it is as soft as a baby's skin. Feels like what I imagine touching a cloud would feel like, if we could indeed do that.
Everyone I've run into since the moment I got it into my hands has been asked to "pet the yarn. C'mon. You know you want to!"
It was only after I said that a few times did I realize it sounds vaguely obscene.

"Pet the yarn" isn't the least bit obscene.
Now, "fondle the yarn"... there's some borderline fetish lingo for you. ;)
