As some of you might remember I was working on a scarf in hand painted alpaca. Being a luxury yarn, when I ran out of it, and still wanted more length to the scarf, I had to come up with a plan.
And plan I did! I got another alpaca yarn in a corresponding colourway, and some beads which would draw on the colours from the hand painted yarn. Then I delved into my stitch dictionaries because I wanted to make a feature of the ends and show off the beading. Would you like to know more?
I have been a busy little beaver finishing off my massive rainbow shawl just in time for it to get too hot to wear it!
We took it with us on our picnic last week so that Himself could take some photos for me. Would you like to know more?
There were a few questions when I posted about visiting Enkhuizen, regarding the yarn I bought. The project I was in the middle of was one you’ve all seen before, my Dreambird. The inspiration came from a ball of Kauni in the “EQ” colourway.
I love the rainbow so much! And had been dreaming of this yarn since it was first brought to my attention years ago! Would you like to know more?
Today’s Table
I have been a bit distracted and busy recently, so when I found myself the other night without a suitable project to take to knit night, I just shoved some yarn, needles and my ipad into my bag, trusting that it would all work out when I got there.
This Japanese Feather and Fan shawl is what eventuated.
I think it’s going to be remarkably vibrant when it’s completed.
Hi Everyone! Did you miss me? We have lots of adventures to catch up on next week, but until then let me catch you up on all the things I’ve been knitting!
First there was this hat which I made for Himself in a neat 2×2 rib to go with the scarf I’d made him earlier this year.
Now that the weather has finally turned, he’s wearing it all the time! Would you like to know more?
