On the Needles
As you can see, at the moment, I’m trying to make a dent in the attic yarn stash. No idea yet who it will be for — someone who would look good in these colors, I suppose.
YARN: Lion Brand Homespun (mexicana) and Wool-Ease (gold), stranded together.
PATTERN: I cast on 20 stitches, did six rows of garter stitch, then went to this pattern. I’ll finish it with six rows of garter stitch, too.
Now, after having worked with it a bit and after having been spoiled by using Lamb’s Pride, I don’t really care for the Homespun any more. Thing is, I have about eight skeins of it up in the attic. It is, however, pretty soft. I could use the “delft” color (blue & white, like Delft china) for some baby hats, I suppose. I originally bought it for making prayer shawls and scarves. I’ll probably make a few scarves for the holidays. I know for sure I’ll make this scarf (I have both yarns in the colors in the picture; I think it will look great.) I don’t have enough of one color to make one shawl, so I’ll combine some “harvest” and some “olive”.
I’ve also pulled down from the attic two skeins of Divine in “floral fantasy”. I think it would make a lovely lacy scarf/stole. I have two more skeins up there. Now, to find just the right pattern for it….
