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.
I love your yellow shawl!! I too am very critical of my progress and chastise myself for “not enough”. I am trying to remember that something is better than nothing, and as long as I am moving my hands and not scrolling I should consider it a win
Both your shawls are coming out beautifully! You make such beautiful color choices. I hear you, Jodie. Sometimes it seems our brains do a great job of portraying something as terrible, even when the said thing is just normal, innocuous or even nice.
One more joy: just yesterday understood how to do a square in overlay from the center out (in rounds), from a video by The Guy with the Hook. Always a joy learning something new. 🤓

How does the natural yarn feel? I have a wool sensitivity, sadly, and even with a shirt under I still get itchy with some wools.

Since I raise natural colored sheep I can’t pick just one! I love them all!
