Knitting Update + New Arrivals

July 14, 2005

To see my new arrivals from handpaintedyarn.com, my new corkscrew scarf project from loop d loop, and bloom progress, click! Here is a little preview to wet your appetite..

That's the corkscrew scarf from loop-d-loop, I'm making it in bulky from www.handpaintedyarn.com in a yellow.. think it was called cadmium. I have two 100g skeins which will hopefully be enough.

Here it is pulled out if it's loopiness so you can get an idea of the construction.

The other yarn that arrived from handpaintedyarn last week was five skeins of burgundy, in the same bulky, for a top from loop - d - loop who's name currently escapes me!

The colours are beautiful, the yarn is soft and delicious, but it needs a bath as it still stinks of vinegar from the hand dyeing.

Here (above) is my bloom progress so far. I've half of one piece done, and almost 2/3 of the other. I was hoping to finish one this weekend but that is looking a little unrealistic right now! We'll see..
