Okay, so I went to my LYS to get a birthday present for my Mother,
who is finally, after all these years,
Knitting Again
and she wants to try felting.
So I got her the new little Vogue
Knitting book with the rainbow tea cozy on the cover.
Mission Accomplished.
Then I started talking to MaryAnn
about another Rescue Poodle (his name is Romeo....)
and what did I spy out of the corner of my little eye
but THREE balls of lovely celery green
Kidsilk Haze.
I was gonna bring it to Sheep and Wool, the perfect
lightweight project, and I thought I might get some input from
some of the Amazing Lace Knitters who will be in attendance...
so I cast on, just to SEE
whether I liked the mohair....
before I knew it,
sixteen rows!
There's something about the structure of this pattern
that makes perfect sense to my hand/brain connection,
and the Kid Silk Haze...yumsters!
Isn't it funny?
My Mother wants to knit the hippest felted purse
and I'm making a mohair SHAWL....
To practice, for when my spinning gets fine enough
to make my own Pi.
Tomorrow night is the launch party for TIGER at my local Apple store, and I am supposed to be
at a charity Art Auction where one of my paintings will be on the block.
What's a geek to DO?
Off to see the Boybird this afternoon, hope your day is scrumptious!
I just wish I could dive into that ball of yarn! Man does that look inviting! Beautiful soft color too!

That Kidsilk Haze looks lovely. It's one of my knitting life-goals to knit a shawl with it, but the budget just won't stand it right now. That shawl is going to be beautiful.

Yay for lace knitting! That green color is fabulous! and that tiny, cobwebby yarn is absolutely addicting!

I liked knitting with Kid Silk Haze a lot more than I thought I would--I'm not usually a fan of fuzzy--but it was really nice! And the best part? It barely shed at all . . . gotta love that in a mohair!

We are very excited. That's all I'm saying. :)
