life is just a bag of yarn...

before and after.

My favorite yarn is being discontinued, so, I've had a mad hunt for what will fit in my budget that I can stash, because thee are 100 things I'd like to do with it. I discovered the other day that it felts.. So make that 200 things I could do with it. I dont know which special projects I will chose to do, but I think a few coffee cozies are in order. This is what the yarn looks like knitted.....

...and felted.

adult knitting

The kind of knitting where you follow a pattern and have to pay attention. I'm a fly by the seat of my pants knitter: I check gauge, approximate the size , cast on and knit. Usually it all works out well in the end... usually. I decided to try a lace pattern for fun, and I loved it its simple pattern that yielded a lovely wheat like pattern. I decides to make a scarf for a teacher who is leaving our school and moving to Colorado. I hope she likes it.

I've always liked yarn, especially variegated colors. This is a simple green variegated yarn, I dont know what I will do with it yet It may be a blanket in the near future.
