It's 1am, do you know where your knitting needles are?

Waist Increases and decreases! It just so happens I am doing the same thing on two different knits.

That is a very acurate photo of the color of the Rowan Felted Tweed. I have no wants at all to rush this knit, I adore how light-weight this yarn is, and how beutifully it knits up. Picovoli in DB Cathay, eh, not so much. I never enjoy cotton, even though this yarn is nice it's a bit splity which is a problem at times. Also yarn joins always show far worse in cotton.

The husbeast and I spent the evening watching videoes on youtube.com and Albino Black Sheep all night together.

Comments

I just wanted to say how much I agree with you about Felted Tweed, it's almost my favourite yarn. I knitted five (yes, five) Harry Potter sweaters in it and never got bored with it. I keep asking my nieces' kids if I should knit another one but I think they've lost interest so I might do something for myself - the huge cardigan with all the little squares in it in Rowan 28, maybe. I keep collecting balls of it anyway, so I'll have to make something.

What is my favourite yarn? Well, maybe Lorna's Laces Worsted, or Manos, or Twinkletoes Merino, or Kidsilk, or Colinette Giotto. Or Kid Classic is nice. Or...
