Crumple
Further proof that I am knitting (lest you be concerned).
Alas, the things I am knitting are all fodder for the book after next. (On a side note, penultimate means the one before the last. Is there a word for the one after the next? I feel there should be, but I’m at a loss as to what it might be. If anyone knows I’ll be very grateful.) So that means I can show you crumpled bits like this, and I can talk about the yarn (Frog Tree Yarns Pediboo Sport Tonal, and yummy stuff it is too), but I won’t be showing you finished things.
Terribly unreasonable of me. Clearly I need to get some non-book stuff on the needles to remedy this.
The following book?
and what colorway is this, please? 1142? It’s very pretty! : )
It says 1464 on the label. I totally agree that 1464 looks all slate/navy on their site, and the yarn I have has a hint more teal to it. But the pic here is a pretty good match to the color, at least on my screen.
I don’t know a word for the one after the next, but the one *before* the one before the last is the
antepenultimate. (I love that word!)
And the color of that yarn is amazing.
That is a very fine word indeed! I like ante much better than pre. Antenatal, antediluvian, very satisfying words.
after great holiday discussions amongst English, American and Scottish souls we agree that here in the UK we would say, ‘next but one,’ but somehow don’t think we’ve cracked the problem…
