Sunday Stash Confessions.....when one yarn is added, something has to go!

-
New addition to the stash:  +RowanYarns  Alpaca Colour - in shade 134 Jasper

I really want to try this new yarn - it is so soft and the colours are amazing!
Jasper matches my new Radley bag...and it fits right in with my "Autumn" colours.
(How many of you had your colours done back in the 80's? 
I thought I'd lost my colour wallet, but I just found it again!)


DESTASHING:


15 balls of Simply Shetland Lambswool and Cashmere
see it on my Pinterest Destash page here
or on my Ravelry Destash page here


I'm going to be doing some serious destashing.....

    Lovely Alpaca colour yarn. And yes, I did have my colours done in the 80's!

    Okay, for about 15 crazy minutes I found myself on Ravelry searching for something I could make with this yarn. Then I pulled myself together and reminded myself I am not buying any more yarn until I get to the UK.

    I love Radley bags! Did my own colours in the 80s and was a Summer, then found out in the 90s that a new palette selection had been created which sub-divided each season into cool and warm, so am now a Cool Summer. I KNEW I could still wear some of the Winter-ish colours! You, however, are and will ever be a perfect Autumn.

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor

Happy New Year!  I really fell out of communication here and on youtube with my 2022 Advent Knit challenge, didn’t I? Well, here are the 3 videos that detail what I had planned, how I progressed and while I didn’t finish as per the schedule I’d set myself….it is finished and I’m happy! This first video details the plan…..and also has updates on my sock knitting. This video was my week 1 update….and then, well, things all got complicated and I disappeared until well, right now! February 17, 2023! Yes, I’ve finished the gorgeousWonderland Shawl by Chloe Thurlow! It’s such an effective design - easy intarsia blocks broken up with a horizontal line…..and finished off with vertical crochet or embroidered lines for that tartan look!
