Green Goddess Dressing

Every now and again, I get an organizing bug, which allows me to feel in control of at least one aspect of my life. I had started small, thinking that I'd devote my knitting time to finishing, reworking, or ripping out projects that were lingering about.

I'd already successfully revamped my ChicKami, and I was ready to move on to something else. There were two baby projects that I could have attended to, but neither one intersted me at the moment. What did interest me, however, was that deformed monster of a shawl.
The Approximately 250 Yards Mohair Boucle Shawl.

If you have so much as a passing experience in the mohair milieu then you are probably preparing yourself for an overwrought story of tears, anguish, and harsh words. But just stop yourself. Believe it or, nothing of the sort happened. In fact, it was a short ten minutes from one form to the other. Pleased, but hungry for more, I moved on to the Crossover Tank, and reclaimed my Rowan Calmer. It was then that I noticed that the mohair and the Calmer matched.

Looking for another small project, I decided on organizing one of my stash drawers. I pulled out all of the yarn in my non-wool drawer, laid it out, and... and... took at good hard look. I then reached into the wool yarn drawer and pulled out some further damning evidence of my obsession.

The mohair, the Calmer, the Rowan Linen Drape, the Capri Print, the Goa -- all shades of Drab. The frightening part of this is that I have a rather small stash, but a rather large percentage of that small stash is...some harmonious shade in the Olive, Lime, Lichen, Moss, Grass, et. al. Family.
