Yarn because that's what it's all about, books because I can't hlep it.
Last year I started listening to a podcast of a novel called, “The Day I Died” by Griffith Hewitt. Not the sort of title I expected to enjoy, but I did. Icing on the cake was that another Gail (Love) was reading it! But it stopped in the middle.
So finally I bought the book from Amazon. It’s good. It is a good listen, but it may be an even better read. I stayed up late last night, trying to find the answer to the mystery!
It was worth the price. An enjoyable, off-beat story.
Today I got the fourth and last Moonbeam Club fiber, and I hadn’t even posted the third one yet.
I got reasonable pictures, so I’m posting both.
First, “Holiday Pudding” 45% Alpaca, 25% milk, 25% bamboo, 5% merino, plus Angelina.
and the latest, “Darkenvane” 50% Alpaca, 25% milk, 25% bamboo, plus sparkle.
I’ll take more photos when these lovelies are spun.
This new (to me) colorway is all pink! Light pink, dark pink , and in-between pink. It is very pretty.
I had half a skein of Rainbow Lace leftover from the first Laminaria, so I decided to make another one. I like the pattern and I gave away the first one, so it was an easy choice. This is how far I’ve got:
Then also I had some regular Rainbow leftover from making the DoubleKnitSki hat, so I started yet another Laminaria. I was curious how it would look in the bigger yarn. So far, so good:
I spent yesterday traveling so I have more of this one, but no new photo yet.
Last week I sent off an order to Kauni and have already got the shipping tracking number, so it has shipped. The box will be here by the end of next week, and I hope a lot sooner. It contains more Rainbow, of course, plus more of some colors I am low on. Then there’s a new color, EE, which is pink: all kinds of pink. The pictures look lovely.
I expect it will arrive in a 150 gram ball, like the other effect yarns.
