08.17.04 | 12:37 am Do I ever have a whole lot of yarn! Katherine brought me 6 skeins of handspun that are this gorgeous blue/teal/brown/turquoise that is all varegated and beautiful. She says she spent so much time spinning it she doesn't know what to knit with it. I whipped up a pink scarf with pockets for Geneva with chunky handspun from her. This stuff really deserves to be shown off. I think a shawl would be a good project, and after seeing so many versions of Charlotte's Web, I am inspired to go to the library and sit down with a stitch dictionary and plan out a lacy shawl. The alpaca hat is forming up in my head. There will be some trinity stitch panels and some 6/8 cables. All this after my sweater, well, maybe the alpaca will need immeadiate attention. Pictures of Katherine's handspun will be up when I can manage to get something that does them justice! |
