Confessions of a String Junkie

Hello, everybody. I wish I had more interesting products to get you up on, but life has been mostly work-work-work, and not NEARLY enough stamp collecting. Well, quite a bit of stamp collecting, actually, and thinking about yarn, and styles, and Ravelry, etc.

Here is the completed crocheted cooking area rug, created out of cut-up T-shirts; the sides are kind of ruffly, so the very next time I’m going to try to just do a garter stitching one in lines. (I think I could just solve this one and knit it, come to think of it…) But Madeline the dachshund really really likes it and waves up whenever I’m at the home.

I also found an almost-finished cardigan, that only required its fleshlight sleeves completed to be wearable, so I completed it, and created a fast little headscarf to go with it. The style is my Miriam Leth-Espensen, the operator of Miriam’s Well, and the Father christmas Fe University of Weaving. I was on company enterprise to Father christmas Fe, and had Miriam all to myself one day in her warm store, where she assisted me discover yarn for a person’s aran wire cardigan, some wonderful Manos del Uraguay pink variegated yarn that I had regretted not purchasing at Stitching Western side that season, and two colours of Berroco Extra Alpaca to create this:

Miriam had a example knitted up in the store, and I really beloved the drapiness of the side to side garter stitching, and the little glistening “knitalong” yarn with sequins, that you knit along with just one row in between the lines of eyelets on the headscarf. But what I hadn’t recalled, was the basically luxurious satisfaction of the yarn itself. Oh my benefits, Berroco Extra Alpaca, yummmmmm! People at the Southern of the Stream Ravelers Knitting evening all had to hug it to their boxes, the smooshy smooth smooth of it is just so amazing.

I had purchased a corresponding coloured dress in Father christmas Fe, that has been clinging in my cabinet, unworn, because I didn’t want to use it until the cardigan was done. I think I will be in this attire quite often this winter weather, looking elegant but privately sensation as comfortable as if I were dressed in a preferred gown.
