The yarn diet continues, I haven't given in.  A friend pointed out that maybe all my new projects could be my attempt to replace one obsession with another, lol.   I suppose it is possible, lol.  I am still enjoying stash diving and getting the chance to use some of the lovely yarns that have been in my stash.  This week I am using my cascade heritage silk that has been in stash since last summer.  I used about half on a lace cowl crochet pattern I tested.  It amazes me how much blocking changes the way am item looks.  As this pattern is not yet available, I will have to wait before posting pics here.

Also on the hooks and needles this week....I have started the hemlock ring throw,I have wanted to do this since not long after I joined ravelry.  I purchased a skein of cascade eco plus yarn not realizing that I needed more than one.  The color is real teal, I found another partial skein natural on ebay.  I decided to to a bit more dying so I could make this project this year.  Totally loving stitching yarn I dyed.  The teal now has some green mixed in and the natural is not an exact match, but I think it is close enough that I will have no issues making the throw.  

I guess I haven't learned yet, I started another mystery knit along, this one looks like it could be interesting.  more stash diving for colors, using some of the palette I got in the big sale at knit picks.  And speaking of knit picks, still working the the kauni bag in chroma prism and bare.  The color transitions are making this bag a fun knit.  Still working on my stitch surfers, I am up to the heel on sock one, need to get back to that, so many things I want to stitch just not enough hours in the day.
