Vacation Stashbusting

Even while on the beach, I am reducing reducing reducing. The first finished object of my summer of stash is here and here (although it doesn't feel like quite a stash project since I was given the yarn for mother's day -- after heavyhanding hinting).

Still, this feels more stashbusterish and I'm determined to finish today.Part of the reason yarn is so hard to resist is embodied right there: color. Just holding that wound ball gives my heart pleasure, my spirit respite. The play of blues and purples and roses against one another are so pleasing. Who would not want to be surrounded by color?
