Yesterday I spent a goodly amount of time taking breaks between spinning for Spin for Peace by washing up the box of yarn I had Spinderella’s do up for me from some of my 2007 Skylines Farm Romney purchases. I had forgotten about two of the three fleeces, but found the box last week when attempting to organize a wee bit.
Eight pounds of fingering weight yarn later, I am pondering Icelandic shawls. And I think I found the perfect pattern to use for my first try in Evelyn Clark’s new pattern. Until I spin up my own Icelandic, I’d like to use the three colors I have on hand in one of these, as well as one perhaps from Foroysk Bindingarmynstur. I have a natural white, a medium gray (with a bit of brown), and a dark gray.
Something to look forward to, perhaps, once the Games are over.
Of course that didn’t stop me from buying two sweater’s worth of yarn from WEBS for use this fall. :D
