News — knitting

The yarn conjurers life is repetition almost to the point of meditation. It's never boring, progress is always made & a useful article is the endpoint.

not all adventures in yarn lead where you wish nor are resounding successes. in the case of this scarf, i began but found after seeing the striated color pattern emerge that, given the stitch, i'd rather go another way with the yarn. i haven't an actual frog pile but this is going to be frogged before nightfall to be worked into something awesome.

i finished knitting this last night. i love the pastel color wisps in the yarn & i'm fairly excited to give the skeins of this yarn in purple the same treatment. for the life of me, i can't recall where i got this yarn but it's been in my yarn stash for a while. i'm glad i've got around to using it.

after a rifle through my yarn stash, i came upon a bulky alpaca blend that's been begging to be used for too long. so, out came the circular needles, i poured a glass of chardonnay and set to work. this is it's current progress and it looks even better knit than it does in skein.
