Wooly worms!! Ahh, I love these guys. Near Boone, where I went to college, every year there is a wooly worm festival - it's so awesome. People bring a furry little worm and they have races, and the winner is used to help predict winter. They were out in full force during our hike, so I had to snap a few pictures - they're just so cute! The scenery around here is just amazing - I'd almost forgotten how beautiful it is in the mountains....
The weather is starting to get chilly, the colors are rapidly changing, and life is good.
I've got a new pattern available! A few months ago, I picked up a gorgeous skein of thick and thin yarn from Maya at SpringtreeRoad. I have a thing with thick and thin yarn - it's just simply beautiful. I love the way it looks. But what do you do with it? It creates such an interesting fabric when knitted up, I just knew it needed to be turned into something beautiful. So, here's what I came up with....
I absolutely love it! The cable is beautiful and runs the entire length of the neckwarmer. The texture is amazing - and the versatility of it even better. The buttons are placed so that it can be worn multiple ways, and because of the fabric of the thick & thin, there's no need to make button holes! It's available on Ravelry and Etsy, and you can find plenty of yummy thick and thin yarn in Maya's shop!
The neckwarmer is beautiful. I love the texture and buttons! and that worm's pretty cool too.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to find the yarn as in the pattern. I want to make one with the thick and thin. Where can I get some of it?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous unfortunately Maya's not spinning any yarn at the moment, but there are plenty of sellers on etsy who sell handspun bulky thick and thin. Here's a great one - beautiful colors, reasonably priced, even shipping from Israel. http://www.etsy.com/shop/WoolyRhinoceros?ref=pr_shop

@JenniferHey thanks, too bad... I have found some others and hope to recreate the look so prized by some soul child in me.
