Rich, dark, smooth...
... yarn.
This is the package which is at last ready to send to my allocated knitter. Along with many of the world’s pre-eminent knitbloggers, I have joined Jacqueline and Kris’s ‘Stitch Ya Neck Out’. Such a jaunty button:
The package comprises four balls of Kid Classic in ‘Bear’, for a Turtleneck Shrug. Scary fashion choice perhaps, but I think I can make it work. When I saw the yarn and looked at the pattern together, oh I felt so awful for my poor allocated knitter. All that brown, all that ribbing. I really did feel horrid. So as sweeteners, I’ve put in two balls of Kidsilk Haze in sparkly black, a bar of Green & Black’s, and a pansy pin. I hope it works.
PS: Thanks to Jenny, for the invaluable advice – comments are unmoderated once more!

I am sure it will soften the blow... I love this Bear colour!

How sweet are you to make up for the brown and the ribbing! I think it will be a lovely shrug.

If they're anything like me, chocolate will definitely do the trick ;)

OMG - Green and Blacks chocolate! If I had known you were sending that I would have happily knitted the shrug for you. I just know your lucky recipient will be absolutely beside herself.

I'm so jealous! I know I won't be receving it, but what a lucky recipient and chocolate to boot :)
