I was delighted when my friend Margene decided to destash, because she set aside some awesome purple yarn for me!

That is some incredibly high quality purple (and pink, and reddish pink) yarn there. So excited! Some of it might become….SOCKS! It could happen! My one pair of finished socks accidentally got sent through the washing machine two years ago, so I feel like I have been failing myself as a knitter because have not produced more socks.

I have also reached the home stretch, or stage three of Joker and the Thief, where the purple yarn becomes more prominent again:

Soon it will be all done, hopefully when it is still cold enough outside so I can actually wear it!
