Long time, no post
Things have been a bit upside-down in the B. household recently, to say the least. I have found myself unemployed and unmotivated to pick up my hook or turn on the sewing machine. I hope that changes soon, because I have so many works-in-progress that I would like to see finished!
This scarf has been sitting on my “things to do” pile for ages. All it really needs is the applique and embroidery I’ve planned. The yarn is Cascade 220 Quatro, and I really like how the four different colour plies stand out when you look at it closely, but blend nicely from a distance and gives the fabric a delicate tweedy look.
I bought this skein of Malabrigo, planning to make myself another cowl. For now, it sits in my yarn bin.
This one is the start of my (bulkier) interpretation of the wool crenelle scarf. It is probably going to be a holiday gift for one of the many women I know who like this colour. It’s Red Heart Cozy Wool in Claret, which isn’t a colour I’m too hot on for wearing myself. My winter coat is red and my hair is orange-y, so this would be way too clashy. But it was $2/skein at Dressew, and perfect for washable gifts. For a thick yarn, it isn’t too stiff to work with, but the multiple plies make it a bit splitty.
Sheep! This adorable little pouch (from Christina’s at Etsy) came to me through a swap, from Not Scarlett. It had lots of nice goodies in it, like candy and darning needles and stitch markers, and and and…Thanks!
