Take the quiz: “Which American City Are You?”

Your dark exterior masks a caffeine driven activism. You’ll take up a cause and you’ll get ugly to advance it.

I begin with a linky distraction since I have not managed to get off my arse and take pictures of Shawl & Vest.

While Vest is enduring the blocking process, I have begun a smallish project. A poncho for my five year old niece. It will use up all the leftover Strawberry Shortcake yarn. I am aiming for a drawstring neck with pom-poms and lots of fringy goodness.

This leads me to a philosophical knitting question:

When you are working on a project specifically designed to use leftover yarn, do you buy more of that yarn in order to complete the project? (it has become clear that there will not be enough of this stuff for the pom-poms and fringe)
