Okay. I yield. I give up. You win. For now, at least, the Copper Zephyr/Hyrna Herborgar combination has defeated me.
I’ll have the last laugh, though.
I’m going to Rhinebeck tomorrow and I’m going to buy new yarn. Friendly yarn. Yarn that wants to be knitted by me into something beautiful. Something that will show that ungrateful Zephyr just what it’s missing out on. So, hah!
I’ve got some cash, I’ve got my checkbook, I’ve got my credit card. I’ve got my camera. I’ve got my cellphone. Now. If only I could figure out what to wear. I don’t think I’ll know for sure until I wake up tomorrow and see the weather for myself. Here’s hoping!
I’m looking forward to meeting those of you who are going to be there, and am sorry not to be meeting those of you who won’t. I hope everyone has a safe and profitable weekend!
RIP, Hyrna. I’d say it was nice while it lasted, but um, really . . .

are you still planning on selling it? or are you going to give it one more chance? can’t wait to see what you buy at rheinbeck (sniff) hope the weather behaves (deep sigh) hope you don’t get sick (aaaaaaaaaaaaachooooooooooooo).

Uh-oh. Sorry you had to frog. I hope you have a fabulous time at Rhinebeck, and find something delicious for the Hyrna.

That surely is beautiful zephyr… Ah Rhinebeck — hope you get there and back OK and that you share with us all the glorious details.
Sorry about the frogging
That is surely the prettiest color Zephyr that there is. There must be something that it wants to be.
Oh my goodness….well, here’s a toast to the new yarn
You mean maybe my lace traumas are b/c of the YARN???!!! What thought. I’ve been duking it out with zephyr and the fiddlesticks lillies of the valley stole pattern. Sheer frustration in my opinion.
And of course proximity counts WRT Rhinebeck
[...] Rowan’s Wool Cotton. Jaggerspun Zephyr should be on the list, but really, stay away from the copper color–it’s obstinate. KnitPick’s Shimmer was a delight to use, but I wish they [...]
[...] please, don’t think that this looks similar to that infamous Copper Colored Zephyr in that Hyrna shawl, because it just doesn’t, all right? Maybe superficially in this picture, but really not at [...]
