Though this isn't a FO post, it is a rather exciting one for you fiber addicts out there! This past Friday, my mom and I did some serious mother/daughter retail bonding at our favorite yarn shop--it was fantastic.
One of the highlights is the yarn pictured - it is [10 skeins of] Rowan Felted Tweed and it's going to be made into a longerish-length Minimalist Cardigan. Have you ever just had yarn speak to you? Well, this yarn said:
"rachel, please knit me into a wonderfully tweedy grandpa sweater"
So I listened.
More finished goodies to come soon!
Haha, I always love your pictures!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great picture! Have fun knitting that cardigan. I can't wait to see how this yarn knits up. :)
ReplyDeleteFun photo! I can't wait to see the cardigan, it'll be beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a picture you'd see in a magazine. You amaze me everytime. Can't wait to see what those 10 look like in the grandpa cardigan
ReplyDeleteYou cannot have balanced all those skeins! :D What id inside then?
ReplyDeleteGreat pic! :D And yummy color too…
ReplyDeleteI love the photo and can't wait to see the finished product. It looks like a great color for you too.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this yarn is for sure speaking. Love the picture.
ReplyDeleteYarn speaks to me all the time. It's a big problem considering I work in a yarn store.
ReplyDeleteI thought those were cinnamon buns at first glance.... nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very impressive picture. :D Makes me want to get some sweater amounts of yarn... mostly I've been sticking to 1- or 2-skein lace shawls and socks recently. Better for the pocket, but you don't get a big bag of yarn that you can swim in. :(
ReplyDeleteI just love your enthusiasm for knitting & yarn :)
