While I have started a vest in honour of Vestuary, in the last few days I've found myself reaching for this bit of simple knitting, instead. In the busy days that have been happening around here, switching back and forth from garter stitch to stocking stitch is just the peaceful remedy I need.
I'm making a conscious effort to rip anything that is lingering, and is really not going to get finished, so I can move on to something that doesn't feel like a burden. Knitting is supposed to be fun, right? So, this yarn (Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock - who knew that was hanging around my stash?) was reclaimed from some socks that just weren't doing it for me, and repurposed into a new scarf, to match the coat Stuart gave me for Christmas. Because half the fun of new outerwear is making accessories to go with it, right?
In answer to your question, most definitely YES!
Love those colours together!

yep nothing like new hats and scarves to put a spring in your step! The lorna's laces is lovely to work with - look forward to seeing it finished!

I just recently ripped a bunch of projects, too. It's like getting new yarn! Those colors are lovely.
