I hear that phrase all the time, plus “How does he do it?” “Where does he get the time?” “He must knit in his sleep.” David just knocks me out with his versatile knitting and now crocheting. Do not miss looking at the two previous posts of his, they’re gorgeous! He’s definitely got his creative mojo working. I would love to have both the pieces he has just finished. Well done!
We received a few new yarns in this week. We’re restocked on Zauberball, at least for a little while, and a couple colors of Unisono came in. I love these pretty spring colors of Filisilk, a wool and silk laceweight that makes a lovely and light shawl or scarf:
A new sock yarn, called “Wunderkleckse” (Karen looked it up, it translates into something like Wonder Splotches – completely appropriate), looks like it would be so much fun. Comes in 3 colors and you can see the picture of how a sock would turn out. Keep in mind, the other sock would be related, but different:
This new yarn is called Murano Lace, a wool and acrylic blend in a sport-DK weight.
It’s got 436 yd of color-changing yarn on a ball and I immediately thought of Wingspan, a new pattern available free on Ravelry. Here’s my WIP:
I didn’t get much else done this week, what with a rotten cold – thanks to Karen, Donna, and Jayne who coped while I snuffled and napped at home – and a wonderful visit from my State College sister. We should have more new yarns to show next week – Berroco’s due, with pretty yarns and Norah Gaughan’s new collection.
Hannah Weller took Janet’s felted tote class with a deadline in mind. She is going on a trip to Italy and wanted this beautiful bag to take with her. Hannah + Tote = 2 Beauties:
Deb Schlarb brought in another wonderful tea cozy. Someone added sunglasses – like it needed more personality?
Yuko Lewandowski made this top-down entrelac sweater, choosing several different coordinating yarns to get the effect she wanted. It turned out so beautifully that I talked her into a photo. She wanted to remain headless, but I think she looks wonderful – so there! She has just embarked on another one.
Hope your mojo is working, too! See you soon…
Trish
