Apr. 28th, 2013 06:52 pmThis is Lenny:
[Pictured: a ball of yarn in shades of blue and green; for them as know yarns, it is Crazy Zauberball color #2136]
I acquired Lenny at Stitches West, along with hir sibling Charisma (who is a deep pink, marled with black). I didn't have a project in mind for either of them, but I knew they had to come home with me.
(This is normal... honest...)
So a few days ago, I was browsing Ravelry, as one does (at least when one is me), and a group that I lurk in -- "Crochet Shoulder Wrappers", not that I eeeever make crocheted shawls or have any interest in them -- has several monthly crochet-a-longs, always at least one free pattern and at least one paid pattern. I'm not a very fast crocheter so I tend not to do CALs, but I like looking at the patterns to see if I want to acquire the pattern(s).
And one of the May patterns, Blue Lagoon, was one I had been eyeing anyway.
And Lenny promptly declared in no uncertain terms that a) this was what xie was going to be, dammit, and b) for the May CAL.
Well, then.
(If you've never had yarn dictate anything to you, know that it is not unlike a Gibbs-esque slap upside the head, and is the sort of thing that you only say no to at your own peril.)
...we are currently in the process of negotiating beads...
