5/7/2023 0 Comments Coats fonty kidopale yarn![]() ![]() While I had taken off a bit early on Friday I didn't get any rest, since I was working at home all afternoon. The glass beads are not very evident here but they are so cool! I was itching to start something with the beaded silk and after a little lay down yes terday afternoon (also one of my goals for the weekend - catch up on sleep!) I started a very simple lace scarf. I was so mad!!! I got it handled and you can bet he had the frame down and put away on Sunday afternoon. The wind picked up and got under the canopy and lifted the whole thing!! I was so afraid a leg was going to go through the glass doors and/or the windows so I had to get out there and try to wrestle the canopy off of the frame. However, he just hadn't gotten around to it. I had asked my DH to take down the canopy he had put up on the deck to protect the barbecue and tables and chairs when we had that party two weeks ago. And it was lovely up until it started storming and the win d came up. Made me feel like a real knitter!Īfter washing my little doggie I had the whole entire afternoon on Saturday to knit! Bliss!! I got tons done on the blanket. I felt pretty special in the LYS - all the ladies were making over my blanket. So I wound off just under 2 ounces of it and it's perfect. But I wanted mohair and I found some gorgeous English mohair on cones at the LYS in a color just perfect for the blanket. Holding a strand of the Fonty Kidopale was not working - too fine a yarn. On S aturday I dropped by the LYS to get something soft and fuzzy for the blanket. Besides finally finishing up the peacock tail scarf, and getting some good work done on the Hemlock Ring blanket I also started a super simple lace scarf (rather like fishnet) with the two skeins of awesome Artyarns beaded silk I got. It was a pretty nice weekend in that I had great gobs of time to myself and I just knit and knit until my hands were too sore to knit any more. ![]()
