A bobbin and a half of softly spun wool/alpaca batts that I carded from bits and pieces in stash; this is the last of it! I now have a pound of gorgeous dk-weight salt-and-pepper singles that may end up being a Larch Cardigan.
I also swatched and started knitting a cardigan that's been in the plans for almost three years, Ursa. I bought this pattern early in 2009, and then spun the yarn for it (another one carded from bits and pieces; this one containing alpaca, angora, merino, BFL, and cashmere) in the 2009 Tour de Fleece. It's about time I started! I just put it down, but managed to get about ten inches of the back done. It'll be hard to leave this alone until next Sunday!
How lovely! I have some yarn on order to make a Larch down the road. It's a beautiful pattern!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a gorgeous pattern? So clean and classic! I know that it'll be one that I grab any time I'm heading out the door.
DeleteOh how I love the thought of gifting myself all of a Sunday afternoon for doing what I want! I am going to put this into practice!! And the results of your spinning look like it will make for a cozy sweater!
ReplyDeleteI'm finding I'm spending the whole week looking forward to it! I'd love to see what you get accomplished if you decide to play along!
