Yarn: March 2005 Archives
Everyone should say a little thank you to Emma today. Something I got in the post from her is saving you all from another pink sleeve shot.
Isn't this yummy?
Emma has decided to hold me to a long long ago resolution to get comfortable with two color knitting. In that basket is a lovely collection of Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift for this cardigan out of the first Jamieson's book:
Quite a lovely design, is it not? And definitely the sort of design I can see going to work in during the winter. The funny thing is, I've looked through this book a thousand times since getting the book and didn't remember this sweater. Some part of my brain just must not have been working correctly, since it's the sort of design that would be perfect for me (and doesn't look to be too difficult for a starting experience).
And just as welcome in this house is the Opal that came along for the ride. These skeins are from the Rodeo collection. I love the bright happy colors Emma picked. I wear my hand knit socks all year round (I've been surprised so far at how well they wear) and love to have that little bit bright color by my ankles.
The lovely blue fuzzy stuff (which, forgive me, Emma, reminds me of Cookie Monster from Sesame Street) is GGH Gracia and is very lovely and soft. It should make a very nice scarf to go with my denim jacket when it starts to get a little warmer.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou, Emma! Definitely another set of perfect selections. Now it's my turn again to see what kinds of lovely goodies I can find to send back across the water!
