the blue blog archives: off the hook

Um, sort of. It turns out that the color I'm using for Smooch has been discontinued and my LYS can't get anymore (wish I'd known that two weeks ago when I ordered the yarn there). I may not have any other choice but to rip it out and start again with other yarn. Well, I'll get to try doing the lace part differently.

Unless of course someone out there has three skeins of All Seasons Cotton in color #187. I'm not doing any stripes or anything on this one. If I can't find more yarn to match what I've already knit, I'll be ripping it out this weekend. I have a few ideas what I could do with the skeins I have.....

Hi Alison,

Oh no! Don't rip it out! Did you try to buy some from the on-line stores? Bet you can some there!

Hello (I feel weird posting, since nobody knows me, and it seems everyone on these knitting blogs knows one another! Oh well),

This place appears to have the color you need:

Good luck! And your lace looks fine to me, but you are the one who has to live with it. If it's going to nag at you, you should probably rip it out.

I have to admit that I have become so excited about my plan b for the Smooch yarn, that I'm not so anxious to find more of it. I'm looking forward to putting it to better use and getting an even more lovely substitute for Smooch. I'm not even feeling that guilty about it. I guess I've let myself off the hook!
