“I’m trying to get a Taylor family project done a day.”
“Ouch,” winced Michelle. “Break out the icepacks.”
It’s 11:26 pm and I’ll run the ends in tomorrow. I know, slacker…
Yarn: one strand Somoko superwash merino/kid mohair/nylon/silk from Fleece Artist, one strand, Maple Creek Farms superwash merino/bamboo/nylon, sock weights bought at Stitches East Fall ’08, and I never realized till today how well they would go together if I should need, say, a worsted-weight’s worth of superwash treated wool…

Alchemist of the yarns. 🙂
Lovely mix. I’m sure it’ll add sunshine and warmth to the recipient.
Oh. By the way: try to take care of yourself in the process. No sense getting tendinitis now… *wink*

Love the sunshine in that hat.

Comment by TripletMom 02.03.10 @ 1:18 pmBeautiful! It looks like the variegation you find on raspberries some times (at least on our raspberries in the back yard)
Comment by Diana Troldahl 02.03.10 @ 2:50 pmOh, the stress. Now I’m worried about the time you’ll lose tomorrow weaving in the ends from today’s project. How will you make rate tomorrow???
Of course, it’s all for a good cause, and with beautiful results.
