Sometimes I'm just amazed
The gal I took to the YS today chose some "Easter grass" yarn (for
lack of a better idea) as her take-home. The stuff is some sort of nylon with bits hanging out that resemble nothing as much as shreds of Easter grass. She's going to make a funky hat for herself out of the stuff, having learned today to knit in the round and K2tog. Next stop, socks and the finer point of turning a heel. I'm working on the CSM this evening. I dyed 5x90gm hanks of 3/14s wool earlier today and thanks to northerly breezes and sun the stuff is bone dry already. I'm cranking my American Pie socks right now (red white and blue, doncha know) then will move on to Dusky Grapes. I've got three Easter egg-colorways too (leftover dye pills) but 5 pairs in one day is beyond my endurance right now! My speed is improving - on hte 72-slot cylinder I can crank a pair of socks in about 90 minutes including breaks to get up and stretch. |

Let us know how that new yarn knits up and how it looks.....I treated myself to a trip to the local LYS and bought a couple of balls of Filati Cervinia-one in varigated sea blues and one in varigated pastels for making socks. I'm slower than you though, takes me quite a while to knit mine LOL. Marie and the cats |

Good for her! Kandace has knitted a couple of hats out of that kind of yarn.
