To make this long story a bit shorter, they said "no thanks." But that's not all. What they
really said was "no thanks, but we'd like to provide yarn support for your beautiful blanket," provided I was planning to self-publish. Yarn support! So I
would be able to touch this yarn and see it knit up into this cute-but-not-cutesy baby blanket. To say I was thrilled is an understatement.
The yarn arrived, and I've just begun preparing it for knitting. I'm still working on another project, and I haven't quite finished writing up the instructions for this one, so it'll be a bit before the knitting is truly underway. Still, check out the gorgeous yarns I get to play with. This is the DK Everlasting. Beautiful, soft, and washable!
And now for the close-ups.

| How perfect is this for the snail shells? Colorway: Tidewater |
 |
| Also Tidewater, all balled up. Pretty, isn't it? |
 |
| Colorway: Gilt. This will be the border and the snails' bodies. |
 |
Colorway: Tart looks much different on my screen than it does in person.
It's a gorgeous green, not quite so electric as I see it here,
but also not totally subdued. (It'll be the grass.) |

| And the perfect name for sky ... Colorway: Heavenly |
Up next? Rethinking the intarsia-only option...
