PS Yarn Swap - last day to sign up
First of all, thanks to Lu (one of our swap members and my swap partner last time around) for the picture that I blatantly stole off flickr without asking. (Bad Zarah.)
The good news is, it's almost time for the next round of the PS Hand-Dyed Yarn Swap! (In hindsight, I should have come up with a catchier name. Suggestions anyone?) I will close entries from May at 6pm Central Standard Time (aka, when Zarah gets home from work).
As I'm sure you all know, the color for May is GREEN. There are so many different shades of green, from wild neon to green grass to avocado, and everything in between. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
In knitting news here at Beautyschooldropout, not all is well. I'm almost finished with the front of Orangina, but my right hand is killing me. Typing all day at work and knitting with cotton in the evening does not suit Zarah well. It's really frustrating me because I want to wear Orangina. Also, I've knit and ripped it enough times that it would be done by now if I hadn't made so many mistakes. Argh....

Rest your hand. I know you probably don't want to hear that, but you don't want to make it so painful it'll take longer to heal. Take it from someone who knows.

Gorgeous yarn. Maybe just a day off will help the hands - cotton can be a real bitch.

Mmmm... bbq. Wrong post, but still!
Take it easy on your hand. Maybe there's another small project you could work on that doesn't involve cotton, at least until your hand starts feeling better?

You are more than welcome to steal my pictures any time ;-)
Sorry to hear about your hand, rest would help, but I find that changing project, from circulars to straights, cotton to wool, helps too.

Oh, Zarah, I've had issues with hand paint from too much knitting ... good luck to you! (PS, picked up the green dye this week ...)
