Deep stash

Like (almost) everybody else in the world, I’ve been bummed out by the situation in Ukraine. The Meske side of my ancestry comes from a part of what used to be called Bessarabia, now in southern Ukraine, near Odessa. Here is where my great-grandparents emigrated from.

The pencil point is on the area where both sets of great-grandparents on my dad’s side came from. So I’m sure that I have very distant relatives in the middle of this war somewhere. The whole thing is just depressing, and maddening at the same time.

I’ve been knitting in the midst of watching all this unfold on the news. I decided that I needed some socks in the colors of the Ukraine flag. I had a shopping cart ready to hit the ”buy” button, and then had the bright idea to check my stash. 🙄

I think that will do nicely. It is Biscotte Bis-sock, in the color Minion. I bought this on a vacation to Newfoundland several years ago, and it’s been waiting for just the right moment.

  1. I don’t have any blue and yellow yarn but I have at least 3 pairs of socks (and maybe 4) that I have knitted in those colors, so I can at least wear the flag if not be currently knitting it.

  2. That yarn will knit up beautifully. I just finished a pair that happenes to be blue and gold. The yarn was based on Van Gogh’s Starry Night but fits Ukraine.
