I really am! I don’t want to accumulate more yarn but I just can’t seem to help myself! Thuy decided that she would share her massive recycled silk yarn purchase with the knit group & I walked away with 8 gorgeous balls of yarn. I love them, they are basking in their own glorious colors right next to my chair so I can fondle them often.
She also has a mass of noro kureyon that she is willing to thin out. That is the kicker for me. Offer to sell me yarn you have on hand & I will jump at the opportunity! Especially pretty, pretty colors like kureyon 131! Yeehaw! So I am rushing through the ballerina wrap cardigan to be ready for the acquiring of the kureyon. I have the back and both fronts as well as one of the two ties done. So it’s just the sleeves, one tie and assembly. No prob! I am totally motivated! I will have a new wrap by the end of the weekend!
That silk is so pretty I just can’t decide what to make with it. George, in all his infinite knitting wisdom, suggested that it would make a great pair of slippers! Hmmmm….he may just be on to something there! He can be quite the fountain of ideas that one. Who knew he just sat there soaking in all of our knitting chatter?? I do believe that will be the next test on the silk, slippers! I have 6 that match, relatively speaking, and 2 that are all out on their own in bright pink and multi brights. I do believe I may have a mismatchy pair of slippers in a few days! With the other 6 hanks I am just not sure! It’s heavy so apparel isn’t in the picture, plus it’s only about 400+- yards. I am seriously considering a bag of some kind for the summer but the shape has me stumped. Maybe a hobo bag of some kind, then line it. Won’t that be heavy out of the silk though? I just can’t decide! sigh We’ll just have to wait & see I think!
Oh, I think I have decided that the Starsky is going beltless. I don’t like belted cardigans so I thought maybe a brooch.
It stayed nicely but I have bad luck with brooches breaking. What I came up with (but have no picture for) is a skirt pin. Basically a kilt pin, large coil-less safety pin. I can use whichever feels right for the occasion/day! That makes me happy! This sweater just gets better & better!
