An abundance of yarn
October 20th, 2007
I’ve gotten six inches into my Freedom Skirt. I absolutely love this yarn. It feels so good to knit with it. One skein got me this much:
So I’ll definitely have enough to make it below the knee. I’m thinking of trying a different type of lace pattern for the bottom. Originally I was going to do an invisible hem but decided to line it instead so I’ll need to sew the hem.
I also bought the Best of Interweave Knits book at the Taos Wool Festival. I got it at the Good Fibrations booth. (Love the name!)
There are so many cool patterns in this book. There’s one in particular that I want to make for Thebes:
Abbey and I are going to do another knitalong. This time we’re going to knit Mariah:
While I love my new yarn it wasn’t cheap. At $15 a skein my yarn budget was almost used up. So I bought my Mariah yarn at Knit Picks. Look a yarn pyramid!
The blue yarn is for Thebes kilt hose and the green is for the heels and toes of my next sock project.
So much yarn, so little time. I somehow need to get paid to stay at home, listen to podcasts and knit.
Here’s a cute picture of Sieben.
