gathering it all together
I was totally seduced by the Paton’s Jet that maddy18 gave me. When I found that I couldn’t knit any of my “hit list” projects while bandaged from finger to shoulder, I realised that something on big fat needles would be much more appropriate – and this yarn knits on 5.5mm – lovely.
A quick search of Ravelry yielded…
knit/lab/high seas I am a bit taken with this. Very Japanese feel to it, for me. In the new blue 3/28NM cashmere, perhaps?
I am fairly sure that this doesn’t count as stash enhancement, seeing as it was gifted to me. It’s Paton’s “Jet” – an alpaca and wool combination chunky weight yarn. I got two balls in a RAK package and fell instantly in love with it.
A quick and easy hat from Grumperina.
I needed a close-fitting hat and this quick and easy project fitted the bill.
Knitted in Hug from The Yarn Yard.
This is the same yarn as I am knitting the Pink Swallowtail in. The pink Hamsa scarf came off the same cone.
I love this yarn and when I saw the delectable violet blue, I was smitten. Totally.
More stash additions – these a bit weightier. Ebay bargains from Kingscraig Fabrics…
