I'm such a yarn/pattern whore. First one, then the other. I've got a pair of socks languishing on the needles, and Whispering Pines longing for me to pick her up again, but no, I couldn't do that. I needed something new and exciting. Something that said "summer." What says summer better than fiber called Caribbean? I'm not big on variegated yarn, but I do make exceptions. Usually it's in the form of my own hand-dyed. This time I fell for KnitPicks sale yarn, Gossamer, in the aforementioned color. I couldn't decide what to do with it, because I hate when the variegation fights with the lace pattern, so I ended up starting another Clapotis. The first one I made is muted (read: bland) so this this a real change. I've reached my first dropped stitch and am headed to the second. The challenge will be to not fall off the monogamy wagon and start something new!

Have you seen these? http://titbits.ca/v1/tb_shop.html
They're called Titbits and they're hand-knitted mastectomy prostheses. At first I thought they were a bit irreverent considering what BC survivors have been through, but I asked my mom what she thought and she said her high-dollar one was uncomfortable and these sounded like a good idea. They're way cuter than the silicone forms. A free pdf pattern for knitting them is on the website. I bet you could make some beautiful ones!
