Garfield Jan 2021 8:19pm, 5 Jan 2021 14,855 posts	0 Garfield I have several things as WIPs that I need to finish. 1.5 sleeves on a cardigan, the trim of a lace pi shawl that ended up in two colours because I only had two balls of the lighter colour. I'm hoping I have just enough yarn to finish off the edging as this yarn doesn't seem to exist any more!!

This is a 50/50 silk/merino laceweight. I got 2/3 through a jumper, decided it wasn’t working and frogged it and now I’m knitting this simple raglan. The very obvious line is where i switched from frogged yarn to a new skein. Is this going to block out? I really, really hope so - I can’t face frogging this again
