Twist

Responding to the pastoral inspirations of camping this weekend, Lorilee whipped out a knitted lamb from a Fiber Trends pattern.

No sooner was the sheep [slightly over-] felted [not that we forgot about him the washing machine], than we took him outside to dry off a little in the sun. But not to worry! Millie the city sheep dog made sure the lambie came to no harm in the big bad parking lot.

Not that it’s sock weather, but I for one can’t resist new sock yarn and an exciting spiral eyelet pattern:

Said yarn is Opal Cotton (Cotton/Virgin Wool/Polyamide blend), in a suave fingering weight. We have it at the shop ($19.95/skein = one pair) in four different colorways, all based on paintings by the artist Hundertwasser. FUN STUFF! The pattern is a free offering from Unicorn Books, originally published in the book

Not Just Socks
