I'd say "vanilla" means something uninteresting, kind of "blah"... But no idea if this is it!

As for natural colour wool, I love that kind of light greyish brown that is hard to define. Rosa Pomar has some really beautiful from Portuguese sheep. These colours just feel comfy and warm.

Crafting joys: just started my workshop on Museu do Oriente (1st session last Saturday), and it feels like an accomplishment! Kind of surreal. And am working on a messenger bag in overlay mosaic crochet. A lot of work but it's the kind of challenge I love. 😁

I like the look of that eco-wool you’ve got there! The stitch definition is quite nice, I look forward to seeing what you make with it (especially if it’ll be a cabled sweater 😊).

Similar to you, I can beat myself up sometimes if I haven’t made “enough” progress though I’m getting much better at it. I’m in the middle of a project now that seems like it “should” be farther along but there’s no rush or need to push my hands to an extreme.
