Everybody getting ready? Here's my choice, Loft. Snowbound for the main color, CC 1 is Old World, CC 2 is Long Johns, CC 3 is Almanac, CC 4 is Storm Cloud. A big box with these yarns were sitting on my porch waiting for me yesterday from Portland Maine. This is partial payment from my test knit, at 25% off. Which was received to Jared emailing me my work was "great!" This test knit chapter is final. I'm hoping a picture of my sample makes the cut...I believe will be in the Brooklyn Tweed fall patterns collection. But for now we will start the beautiful Quill~
(here's a link to the Summer Solstice Knitalong ~ Quill ~ info if you still want to join in!)
looks like the 4th of July ~ perfect
ReplyDeletelike the new blog look? I do ~ hope it suits you as well
I added a link to the kal info into your post ~ hope you don't mind (in case anyone that wanted to join missed my last post)
Yes it'll be very patriotic. I just raveled you about the blog. I appreciate your willingness to change stuff up.
DeleteGot your yarn?
I do not ~ unless I want to do a laceweight version (tons of that in the stash) but I was thinking blanket size for this one, so nope, not yet
DeleteI do have lace to fall back on though if I don't find something I love this week somewhere
So exciting to hear that Jared said you work was great! I cheated and started on my Quill last night. At least I got the provisional cast on started. I don't like to think I'm cheating because I have had the yarn since the beginning of May and have been chomping at the bit to get this on my needles.
ReplyDeleteI don't love the yarn I'm using but I got it at a great price. I might make a second one out of Loft. I can't wait to see how yours turns out.
Please post a picture of your yarn.
DeleteI need to look at the pattern enough to know it's a provional cast on. I'm itching to start.

DeleteI also have a very light pink I might use instead of the light brown. But that is the prime alpaca I bought at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival.
DeleteI think your yarn is soft and lovely, Andee ~ it will be so pretty
Deletedo you know if your sis is knitting with us? she had mentioned she wanted to awhile back but I don't know if she knows we officially have a start date :)
I know she wants to. She was going to use the alpaca yarn we sell at the farm. It isn't from our alpacas, but the same she used for the LOG. I'll check with her to see if she is in. I know her littlest one has been keeping her busy.
DeleteHello!!!!!! I want to do this so much, but not surs if timing is good for me. Very busy with work right now.....but its going to be hard to resist. Not sure...........
