On The Home Front
So far, this is my favorite template -- it reminds me of Mardi Gras!
The Cotswold is spun. It will probably be plied to even out the thick/thin spots.
I keep starting to spin some dyed Bluefaced Leicester and just can't seem to get it right. Corriedale is good, Cotswold is great, and Polwarth is a lot like Corriedale . . . but the BFL is fighting me. So, I'll put it back for a while and do something else.
On the needles:
The "On Hold" sock from WendyKnits first book, "Sock from the Toes Up." The yarn is Malabrigo Sock, but I can't find the tag so I don't know the color.
Mom's scarf from my first handspun. It's undyed Corriedale. The pattern is from a Spin-Off magazine and is easy and really fun to do. It's a little scratchy, so I'm hoping that soaking and blocking will soften it. As I said yesterday, it will probably end up in the closet anyway -- the yarn is pretty bad.
Both of these projects have been on the needles for a while, and are not progressing very fast. The longer days keep us doing other things while the sun is up. Seems that by the time I settle down to knit, I'm too tired and just want to sit. Good thing there's no sock deadline!
Of course you like this template best - it's Orange! I'm reserving judgement until I see them all. I promise the scarf will not be hidden in the closet.
ReplyDeleteI like the orange too. Looks very happy.
