My yarn color is colorway Wicked and my inspiration is a needlepoint picture of the church in Kristinestad, Finland where my paternal grandfather was baptized, c. 1896. My grandparents brought this picture back from Finland for me when I was very young. A family member did the stitching and I treasure it dearly. I wonder if there was a subconscious draw because of the name Wicked! Ha!
I'm hoping to join in with friends and fellow knitters that I do not know yet. Kelli and Melissa always keep things interesting. Kelli, did you notice I photographed MY yarn on a silver plate too? It's tarnished, but silver, nonetheless! Happy New Year to you all!
welcome, Andrea!!!!! love your post ~ everything about it :) ~ so glad to have you along for the journey
ReplyDeleteI am going to blow up your photos a bit so everyone can see that special needlepoint a little better!
Oh my goodness, that yarn is so beautiful! You've got to give kudos to DH, and the friend who tipped him off ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, the friend who tipped him off is the owner of my favorite LYS, Wildfibers in Mt. Vernon, Wa.
DeleteThat is beautiful yarn. The needlework is so good. I feel like needlework is a lost art. My mother in law was a pro at it, but somehow stopped doing it over the years, just like every other needle-worker I know.
