Much Ado About Nothing

Ever get up first thing on a Sunday morning and go stash diving? I did.

Not only did I go through all my bags of orphan Palette, I also went digging through all my stash kits that contain Palette.

This is why. I knew I was going to wake up and miss working on Mosi in the morning so late, very late Saturday night I went looking for a replacement. I found Festive Doodle by Caitlin Hunter a pattern she released in April to help us knit our way through the pandemic. Perfect, right?

I wanted to use her original colors but when I went on Knit Picks at 2 am I discovered in horror that almost all of their Palette is back ordered until late August. Boooo.....

So I went stash diving to see what I could come up. I was close. I have the white, the red and the green but that middle oatmeal color was a no go. The Camel Heather I have is too dark to play nicely with the Verdant Heather green. After swatching I was in a total fit of pique over it. I wanted to knit and I wanted to knit it now, gosh darn it.

It didn't help that I spent hours on Sunday afternoon trying to figure out how to get my printer to print the pattern through the Cloud using my Chromebook. Our little Dell desktop that was hooked to the printer died on me after I installed some upgrades last week. I was not happy. I did get the pattern printed but it did me no good. I was so irritated by everything that all I could manage for the rest of the day was to stomp around and work on my puzzle. I know, first world problems. Just call me Karen.
