Oooh, we’ve received such pretty things this past week. Can’t wait to show you, but first, just a bit of bragging.
I finally finished a successful sweater, so I think my summer curse is broken. This is Jameson by Thea Colman, with some very serious modifications. The first photo shows you the true rich navy color:
And this one shows the pretty cables better for being a little bleached out:
My mods: a lighter-weight yarn but worked at the same gauge, no cables on the back, longer and narrower sleeves, longer body-shorter armhole depth, split hem, narrower cowl neck. Possibly a few I’ve forgotten for the moment, but they’re all spelled out and available with purchase of yarn, which is knit-able, wearable, and all-around lovable Kathmandu Aran. We just got all these fabulous colors so the selection is best right now:
Other suggestions for this yarn might be:
Quick Sand by Heidi Kirrmaier
and Travelers End by Carol Feller
and many others!
We received two beautiful new colors of Silk Garden Solo, in addition to the others we already have in stock. Here are the new shades:
Are they not gorgeous? I love them together and immediately thought of this new design:
Spotted Lines by von Hinterm Stein
But the yarn has so much texture and color that you could use just one color and make a beautiful piece:
Pink Memories by Isabell Kraemer
Sunshine Coast by Heidi Kirrmaier
which I am going to knit but I don’t know the exact yarn yet. We have many, many choices in sport – DK yarns and I dither about which would be the best.
So much more to show you, but with the new schedule, I must go do my own errands before time runs out. Meanwhile I’ll just quickly say that the beautiful colors of Silky Wool I ordered to make Mentolat came in – I’ve started it and can barely make myself stop!
More soon!
