Fiber Musings

Random thoughts of a fiber enthusiast - mostly fiber related, sometimes coherent

April

Yes, I know it’s August, but I’m talking about the fleece, not the month. The fleece arrived the day I left for vacation, so it sat in its box, unopened until a few days ago.

I didn’t have time to unroll the fleece and look at it, but I did pick out a few locks to show the different colors in this one amazing fleece.

Unwashed locks on left; matching washed lock on right.

This is going to be fun.

Vacation Knitting

The start of my vacation happens to coincide with the start of the London Olympics. I had originally casted on for Goodale, but decided that this is the wrong yarn for the project. So, during the opening ceremonies, I ripped out Goodale and casted on for Tea Leaves. Will I finish it before the vacation comes to a close? Maybe the Closing Ceremonies?

P.S. The yarn is Berroco Ultra Alpaca. Lovely yarn.

Slow but Steady
