Ooommmm…must remain calm…Oooooom…must count and repeat ….OOoooom…I know I can conquer this pattern ….
I am making the Lotus Blossom Tank from 2006 Interweave Knits. I have started it about 14 times now, and I am hoping I am on my way. I finished the second pattern repeat which is much much further than I have gotten before. All of my restarts made me pretty familiar with the pattern and aware of what I had to do to correct mistakes.
For me, this is not a late night knit! Since I tend to fall asleep while knitting and night and sleeping is not conducive to counting, this is strictly an early morning over coffee knit.
Yarn: SWTC Oasis Soy yarn.

Afraid so. I think I discovered this shop via eBay - I was searching for something, clicked something else which brought me to another place and finally to a website that had this wonderful self-striping yarn. So I subscribed to the Esty shop’s RSS feed and waited for new stuff. And it came. And I bought.
The vendor is Twisted Fiber Art and here is her Etsy shop.

Check out the packaging. Cute!
I bought a skein of Kabam! which is bamboo,merino and nylon in the colorway Batty. I also got a skein of Duchess, 100% merino in Octarine. And THEN she threw in an EXTRA skein of Shiny yarn in the Netherfield colorway. There is no yardage on the skein and I don’t think it is enough for a pair of socks by itself, but it is very pretty. Thank you!

The June installment of the Socks That Rock Sock Club arrived today. The yarn with its hues of reds and pinks is not something I would gravitate to, but it is a really nice yarn! I can’t wait to knit this up. (Of course by the lack of pictures of the Feb and April socks *knit up* you can tell how far I got on those!) Shh!
