This week some very nice things came to me.
As I read about it in several Weblogs I tried the yarn from
Isaar-Wolle. After two parcels needing a lot of time, the mail was this time very fast.
From the cone on the left side I will knit a Guernsey. From the higher cone next to it I think I will knit a nice jacket with cables (wasn't there something in the fall issue of the Interweave Knits...). The strand in the front is a new mixture and after a bit of thinking (in fact I planned a yarn from the next picture for it) I will use it to knit the Swan Lake shawl from 'Mystery-Stole 3' , althought it is a bit thicker than laceweight, for a dear friend, because it fits my imagination. I didn't attend the knitalong but in between it is possible to buy the pattern on
Melanie Gibbons Homepage.
After a longer time I auctioned some yarn at
Anett/Selavi. Anett has at the moment a very creative phase, she enters a lot of new yarn in new colours in her shop, and often it is now yarn for bigger projects than socks. One was the green yarn on the photo, where I had to think directly of a very dear friend. I plan to knit her one of the sweaters in the new Interweave Knits.
The white yarn on the photo is a sock yarn mixture with a glittering fiber. I planned it first for the Swan Lake, but I think to make another shawl from it, which will surely look very elegant, too.
As you may see, I should visit the next do-it-yourself-store to buy a cheap wall paper roll (this is in between a running gag in German knitter blogs to describe someones list with planned projects).
After trambling days of waiting (did the mail loose MY suprise package) it arrived: a little parcel from
Diana. After I send her some surprises this year she wanted to pay back.
So many nice things...I loved it so much!
