Knitting Pleasure
Last night I had a singularly pleasurable knitting experience. One of my lace classes, Shawl Construction, is being offered at Main Street Yarns & Fibers in May, so I'm trying to get my mini-shawl samples ready for display. I'm using a variety of yarns, including Frog Tree Alpaca, which I've fondled and purchased even, but haven't yet knit with. Last night, I cast it on.
Wow. That's some mighty fine yarn! Silky, light, dreamy. I wanted to spread it on a cake and eat it.
Between that, my ongoing love affair with the now-discontinued Balmoral, and the Cotton Patine, I may be headed toward yarn snobbery. Mmm...silky fiber...
Comments
I haven't tried the Frog Tree Alpaca (yet!). I made a scarf out of the Misti Alpaca lace weight offered at One Fine Yarn, and I liked that yarn a LOT. And I made a small shawl out of Classic Elite Inca Alpaca (I think it was) that was fabulous to work with too. Alpaca rawks.
