Filed under General, Stash Enhancement, Sweaters
All my orders from the weekend arrived this morning – I love post 
So I have a nice stash enhancement – luckily all the wool is earmarked for projects.
My orders included:
- Good Fortune Cotton in Wine.
- Destiny Mohair in Petrol
- Hipknits Silk in Surf
The cotton is going to be turned into a twin set – I think the one from Vintage Knits. I brought the mohair for a scarf for me – I am planning on making scarves as Christmas presents – yes I am thinking that far ahead), I was going to use Rowan Kidsilk Haze, but thought I would try this out as an alternative. I adore the colour, the shade was petrol – but it’s a dark turquoise, and in a certain light a jade green.
I got so excited about the Hipknit Silk – I have seen so many other people in blogland use this wool and I was so eager to start knitting with it – I rolled into into balls by hand and what I read is true it does shred, It is really hard to see in this photo, but it is shades of sky blue, mint green and a pale turquoise I am pretty sure it will become an Arabella.
I have done about 12 inches of Marco – I wanted the jumper to look really chunky (even though it is in cotton), so I did the rib in 3 stitches of purl and knit.
I think I need a a session in front of the TV watching some cheesy show or a DVD, so I can just relax knit… oh it would be even more perfect, if I could convince Jason to bring home a bottle of wine.
