I love this yarn. I wish I had bought a lot more of it and now there is none left in colors I like.

It's so red. And soft. Cashmere, merino and viscose. I am slowed by having to touch it.
I also love how it looks when knit

Stitches crisp and soft all at once.
The beads sparkle a little more because they love this yarn too --

This happens to me sometimes, that I fall in love with something I make or write. I love the way these stitch patterns and this yarn and Medea are coming together.
I wrote a fairy tale -- I spent 7 years working on it, writing in fits and starts. Seven years seems in itself to be a fairy tale length of time. I finished it 7 years ago and have recently begun to consider it again. Maybe to see if I can publish it somewhere. Anyway, there are parts of it that I just love, that make me smile and feel the same kind of delight that I feel when I look at how Medea is revealing herself. Because, as with the fairy tale, she seems to creating herself when I stand aside and let her.
Two more repeats before I start the center motif.
