Wool & Words

But before we get to the yarn goodness, I must apologize for Thursday.

I planned to finish the Haiku sweater that I started (shamefaced) last fall. The pieces have been languishing in my finishing basket. Steve has chastized me I don't know how many times. There's a baby who went through the winter (including a trip to Seattle) without her warm sweater. I made it in the largest size, so she should get at least 2 years of wear out of it. Assuming, of course, that I get it finished.

I meant to finish it off last night, to seam the shoulders, sew in the sleeves and tie up any loose ends. Instead, while watching The Apprentice finale, I made diaper covers for a baby shower I'm throwing on Sunday. So my knitting was still altruistic. And perhaps a bit more in season.

I promise to be better in the future. Please forgive me.

Today, I'm featuring this lovely cone of Jaggerspun wool I purchased from Elann last fall.

1.14 lbs or approx. 1600 yds. of DK weight softness. The color is muted, but lovely. I took this photo in (gasp) my bathroom, which appears to be a great backdrop for yarn photos. Bloggers take note!

I have no plans for this. I truly bought this yarn with no real solid idea in mind for it; the price was right, and it was so pretty, how could I say no?

Thoughts? Ideas?
