Well no new FO yet, so here are some working shots. First is a scarf of my design in the gorgeous Elsebeth Lavold Chunky Al in moss. I love this color, the photo isn’t quite right. The true color is a bit deeper. It’s really the first yarn that just jumped off the shelf at me. Second pic is a “sneak peak” of version 2 of my design for Knitty, which if all goes well will be in the Spring issue. *crossing fingers* I had originally submitted it for Winter and it’s being held on to so we’ll see.
Also just cleared out the local thrift store of wool sweaters- bring on the recycled yarn! This is a little more exciting if one lives in the south (like Texas) as 100% wool sweaters are a bit hard to come by. This is the first successful trip I’ve had. I have some green icing/food paste dye I’m eager to try out on a light tan heathered sweater yarn. I’m hoping it will produce a nice forest/army green since I’m starting with a darker base color than white. If all goes well, next I’m going to try dying self-stripping sock yarn.
