First one is pink shetland/silk handspun. This yarn took several incarnations before I was able to figure out what it really wanted to be. I like the pattern a LOT (easy to memorize), but I was hoping it would turn out a little more pointy. So I did another one:
This one is commercial yarn, leftovers from another project. They're both adorable, and I already have plans for a third from some leftover Tour de Fleece yarn.
On top of all this, two of my local knitting circles got together last Sunday for a Frog Party.
We all brought in store-bought or hand knit sweaters and spent a few hours chatting, picking out seams, eating tasty pastries,
and winding the yarn into skeins. I'm very excited to get double the normal knitting enjoyment from this yarn!
I knit this grey cotton into a cropped bolero a few years ago, but never wore it because it was a size too big. I'm very excited to re-knit it into a better size.
Next up, dark grey Silky Wool that was originally knit into a sweater that was simply a poor design choice on my part. The garment never looked good on me, but I have a fair amount of yarn (it was long-sleeved and the bottom hem went past my hips) and several buttons. Perhaps this one?
