at some point, and yarn.
i will post pictures of some of the knitting projects i'm working on.
i'm just a beginner. i started last year, but put it down. now that e is in my life and she spins and knits, its perfect. and so i've become yarn obsessed.
i've done a lot of work with lambs pride. its easy, its a great beginner's wool. i've knitted quite the few scarves with it. i'm currently working on a set of 3 scarves, each one exactly alike, just different sizes, one for mom, one for dad, and one for baby.
e gave me some donegal tweed to work with. that was nice. not so soft, not so stretchy, but great texture. i made a triangular shawl for my friend p.
i called my ma the other day and asked her for her favorite color.. blue. that was easy. i'm making another triangular shawl, but with smaller needles, and alpaca wool. oooh.. yummy. its so soft and warm. i can't wait to finish it, cause i want to wear it some before i give it to mom.
i'm about to make my first hat. the pattern calls for lambs pride. i went to the yarn store today to get something different.. but.. goddess.. i'm such the snob. i couldn't find anything cheap but nice. nothing that suit my snobbery. so i'll make the hat out of lambs pride.. but! i did pick up some cotton/acrylic yarn.. i'm not sure what i'll do with it, but the colors are simply delicious.
*sigh*
i was going through some catalogs last night, saw some wool from tibet. oooh.. wouldn't that be nice? and some from india. i'm tempted. but not sure what i'd do with it. but still, tibet. make something to be worn close. such a sacred place tibet is.
okay. thats it. pictures to come soon.
oh yeah.. did i mention, i got my boye needle set? delicious!
