Not much has been happening with yarn. Life has been happening, however.
I have found a wonderful supportive group of women that meet for Bible study one evening a week, and go out for food after evening church service on weekends. They are all range of ages, and all range of wisdom. I think their support and presence in my life is what I have been missing. God is good.
When I have time, I try to work on the Shrug-a-licious, but it is a bit snug and I think I need to unravel the second sleeve back to make it wider across the back. I am using yarn from Hobby Lobby for this, called Omega Sinfonia; it is 100% cotton and nice to work with.
Don't know why, but it seems like every time I start a sweater, it gets stopped because some part of it isn't working, then I put it down and it languishes for months--or even years. I have to get over that hurdle somehow, but right now my life is extremely full and finding yarn time is difficult.
Kitties are going in for surgery later this month, and I'm going to Stitches! Both things are a big yay, SOMEONE has started spraying around the house so that has to get FIXED soon!
One more Rav link: have you seen the new Matroyshka pattern? So cute! I still like that motif, so I may try to make a couple. That seems to be more up my alley lately, fast and fun.
Hope everyone is keeping cool this summer!

The Shrug-a-licious seems to be a fun pattern! I'm looking forward to see yours finished!
I have the same "problem" as you for my sweaters! Usually, hibernation = frogging, so I try hard to understand or modify the pattern as soon as possible!
Good luck!
The kitties are cute!!
I do the same thing with sweaters. I'm hoping that I'll finish them all off magically soon.
