Wild and wacky corespun.
Merino, sari silk, mulberry silk.
Don't go looking in your Granny's knitting patterns for ideas for this one. It's just not that kind of yarn.
Approx 36 yards.
I'm having lots of fun with this corespun thing.
On January 23rd my picture was 44th out of 500 on Flickr's Explore. And there it is, amongst all the arty pics taken by professional photographers...my little bit of knitting. Who'd have thought it...?!
Another one ready for the Etsy shop!
Planning on opening this weekend, I think.
I'm hoping to get my Etsy shop up and running within a week or so. It will stock scarves, batts and handspun yarn.
Wendy (spinweaver) in USA knitted and painted this washcloth. Then she unravelled it and sent it to me in the UK to knit up again. She left the cast on stitches and told me about the corners to keep me on track, but the rest was a mystery! This was DIFFICULT! It's by no means perfect but I'm happy with this. I have to be, I undid more than I knitted, I'm sure!
Actually, it was fun and I think we should do it as an official Swap-Bot swap.
This one's lovely. I was going to add some blue but then I loved what I'd got so far. Loads of silk in it. It's going to be one of the first items in my Etsy shop, to open in a couple of weeks.
My latest batt. Merino, silk and angora.
I won a Lazy Kate! The new competition tensioned one. From www.handspinner.co.uk
Thanks Shiela. You now have another loyal customer in me.
i haven't tried it out yet as I have to spin the other half of this batt.
