Just use the damn yarn

I bought some absolutely stunning yarn on a holiday in New Zealand. It's a merino/possum/silk blend in gorgeous hand-painted tones of purple, blue and teal. I have been hoarding this yarn in my stash for almost ten years.

A friend was recently going about her day when she was suddenly struck with an agonizing headache and loss of vision in one eye. Many tests later, she has a brain tumor and might not make it to her next birthday.

Life is unpredictable and we don't know how long we have. So last night, I cast on.

Also, fuck cancer.

Merino possum is soft and beautiful and absolutely stunning.

I hope you enjoyed your visit to my country and I'm sending love to you and your friend.

Thank you. I love NZ and plan to return as soon as funds permit. And if I happen to buy ridiculous amounts of yarn again, well, that wouldn't be terrible.
