So - I wanted to try out Knitpicks new line of Fall Yarns - I ordered a little bit of everything and am playing with them all. I finished this great little felted Fiber Trends Gelato Bag with Wool of the Andes Bulky in "Impatiens".
This yarn is great! It works up nicelywith 137 yards per skein. Gauge is 3-4 stitches per inch on size 10 - 11 needles. I didn't have a lot of fuzz in the washer or on the bag! YIPPEE!! This is a sample prior to felting. The quality is so good I would not hesitate to knit a bulky sweater out of it either.
A couple of months ago, I went out and bought all the makings for stitch markers but never got around to making any. A friend showed me how to make them this weekend and I have been having a ball playing in beads all week. Hubby came home to a dining room table filled with beading supplies and just rolled his eyes. He simply said, "I guess we will be going to the big city for supplies this weekend?".God bless him!
