My ex-boyfriend for birthday present took me to a beautiful yarn store and told me to pick out a few skeins for a present. The first skien I chose was turned into one my favorite pairs of fingerless mitts. My first Madeline Tosh purchase and I use them almost every day.
The second has turned into the demon-seed-stash from hell. No matter what project I have tried, it always gets frogged out. It's partly due to the odd blend of mostly cotton but partly wool.
These poor strands have been frogged out to many times. They have been a shawl, hat, banner (decorative for above my bed), wash cloths, mittens, and probably things i have already forgotten.
I would like to think its the just the yarn and its odd fiber content but its most likely the odd connection between the yarn and I. And I just want to clarify, I have healed from this relationship, I am doing great. I am in a wonderful relationship with a great person who loves and supports me. But I think its this odd little piece of my life that I can't shake. Its a piece of my relationship with him that I haven't figured out. That last little bit of no matter how the relationship ended up that you can't let go because part of yourself will always care. The part that keeps onto the good memories.
But yesterday I think I finally found the best place for it. A cowl for one of my best friends. Her birthday is next month and I think she will love the colors. Its a great way to breath new life into this dark corner. Light in the dark. To get this last little bit of lint out of my life.
I know she will love it.
