Just wear it. Kristin is sporting the lastest “Mintage” bf sweater and a MelonHead KnitWear skein. What a great look! Thanks Kristin.
If you in the mood for a serious knit…..One skein of Guns and Roses makes these awesome wrist warmers…
Thanks Mariegold.
These warmers are hard core. Great knitting.
The first time I dyed and spun BFL, I thought I had died. The staple, the sheen, the lustre…..oh my. Until that point I had only spun merino (which seemed so lifeless by comparison)
What was I thinking? The matte finish of this fibre is hauntingly beautiful and subtle. I am thrilled with the weekend’s production and can hardly wait to dig in. Merino, you have won me back.
I can hardly wait to get back in to the studio tomorrow. Kristin and I will be having a dyeathon.
I’ve added a tab for classes. I have the schedule now for the Dyeing Class in April.
No studio today, knitting at home. Maybe a log for the fire and a movie.
What else needs to be said?. It is a fibre that I don’t often work with. I managed to order some online last year and gleefully add it to my stash (with no plan for it whatsoever). I think it works perfectly for this new prop for Gabi. It is also beautiful to knit.
I was out of the coordinating hand spun and had to go to the studio today to whip up a bit more. It also gave me a chance to spend some time with the new studio acquisition. The Majacraft Suzie Pro is a wheel that I have been coveting for some time. It doesn’t just spin, it soars. The coordinating hand spun is kettle dyed BFL, not as soft as the cashmere, but I wouldn’t kick it out of bed for eating crackers either.
When did I become such a yarn snob?
My custom order for the pair of ginseng hats is done. In working through the hats and trying to get a feel for ginseng as well as the soon to be married couple, I did a bit of research. When I read that the root was given in ancient times to open the heart, the work for the hats flowed freely.
