Circle of Life Shawl. The edging is still not done. I am mostly through section 2…of 8.
Keep Knitting!
I am vested in this project. I’ve just been too tired at night to work on lace these days. I need to set aside some time each week to work on it. I want it finished by fall.
These socks have been sitting in my mending drawer for many years. I know I’m never going to mend them. They are now in the garbage can. They never made it back inside the house after the photoshoot.
Majority of these are Koigu socks. I love Koigu but they don’t make long wearing socks, at least, not for me. The few pairs of hand spun socks in there were painful to toss as well, but they gave me lots of pleasure from spinning, knitting to wearing.
What do they all have in common, aside from the holes? They are all 100% merino. ‘Nuff said.
Grace wasn’t sure about the contrast between the 2 different yarns. Here’s a picture of 2 bitty scraps, one from each yarn.
Pretty darned close, no?
There are color overlaps between the two yarns that make them nearly indistinguishable from each other. The second yarn is mostly black based, but the color sections are similar in hue and value of the darker sections of the rainbow yarn. I think it will work. If it doesn’t? There’s always a dye bath.
