Thus, I dub knitting and crochet as one singular verb: "TO YARN". I'm sure this isn't an originial idea, but I'm going to document here that at least I had the idea. heehee.
Ive started my first sweater. I can't believe I haven't blogged about this lovely gem. Aimee (over at .thefunctionalspace.blogspot.com) and I decided around early December that after the holidays we were going to do a KAL and probably go with a sweater. We pintrest'ed (http://pinterest.com/larc/aimee-leslie-k2tog/) some patterns from ravelry and I picked the miriam cardigan (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/miriam-cardi) . I'm still halfway convinced that she's doing this sweater because I love it. Then, we picked yarn. Ive been fascinated with elsebeth lavold's silky wool since wyrd sisters opened. I decided to not go with the quince co yarn, but with a very pretty eucalyptus color silky wool. So far it's a bit of a slog, but I'm feeling better after last Thursday's class at Wyrd Sisters when I got an inch done while my wonderful student Francis and I worked on the start of her beautiful prayer shawl/wrap.
Speaking of wyrd sister, the yarn bombing went beautifully! google it and you'll see the news has picked it up and everything. My "ACT" sign got hung right in between the two entrance doors. Way too cool! I wish I could have joined in the bombing, but birthday parties are very important! Happy birthday Cate!
What are you 'yarning' now?
