Lankojen viekkaus/ The cheekiness of yarn

Pitsilangat ovat viekoitelleet minua jo ainakin noin viikon ajan. Olen jo useaan otteeseen onnistunut välttämään sen ostamista, mutta eilen sitten tapahtui repsahdus. Liukastuin eilen Menitan edustalla, ja kaaduin suoraan hyllyyn, jossa oli sinistä Novita Cloudia. Jouduin sitten ostamaan 300g kyseistä villasekoitetta, ja se haluaa välttämättä päästä slipariksi. Joudun ilmeisesti laskemaan tiheyden ja mittojeni mukaan sopivaa mallia, johon tulisi joku kiva palmikko. Humanistin aivoja särkee jo nyt...

I've been drawn to lace weight yarn for at least a week now. I've managed to not buy it, despite several close calls, but I ended up submitting to the call of the yarn yesterday. I slipped at a LYS, and ended up falling over into a shelf with some lovely blue Novita Cloud (a wool/bamboo blend). I was forced to buy 300g of it, and it's been calling to me to make it into a tank/vest since. Looks like I'll have to do some calculating based on my measurements and gauge, in order to make something that'll fit, preferrably with a cable in there somewhere. My (arts student) brains are hurting already...
