I have been busy with orders this week, so I haven't made too much progress on my Shalom, but I am so excited that more people are joining the Shalom KAL:) There is still time for you to join in, if you would like to, just visit here. I have decided to add 4 pattern repeats on the yoke of my cardigan and this will give me a nice amount of stitches and a comfy fit. I am working from Frockfarie's wonderful pattern notes for my Cardi, you must go and have a look at her beautiful Shalom. I have a Shalom thread on my Mamma4earth Ravelry Group for everyone to discuss their progress:)
I have also been spinning up this custom yarn for Linda. It is a Merino Silk skein, I really love the colourway, it was dyed by Feltstudiouk.
Oooh, and did I mention, I am working on a new toy pattern for an Alpaca:)
That yarn is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love alpaca's!! I want some. Too bad they are so darned expensive!! I'll settle with buying a pattern from you and knitting myself up one. :D
Your yarn is sooo pretty! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to ask you about the KAL, I ripped out my Shalom, because of mistakes in the ribbing, and as I am reknitting, I am wondering if I will be disqualified if I knit it up in garter stitch? Is that okay?
Hi Simply Beautiful Sundays, of course you won't be disqualified, I can't wait to see your Shalom. Thank you for taking this creative journey with all of us. xo Linda
ReplyDeleteIs that your Alpaca yarn, it's beautiful, if not may I ask where you got it from? I want some :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!!

Hi Val,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much about my blog:) The yarns are both merino, the natural one I am knitting the cardigan in is merino and that I sell. The rainbow yarn is also merino with some silk, it is my handspun, if you would like me to spin some up for you in a similar colourway, just let me know.
Take care
Linda
An alpaca! I am yearning for an alpaca, and have even put the word out in hopes that we will someday have an alpaca farm friend. But, for now, I'll happily settle for a knit alpaca!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yarn, as usual.
You had me at alpaca!
ReplyDeleteLove the creamcicle colors of the yarn. Looks great
I'll be looking forward to seeing your alpaca pattern.
ReplyDeleteI am lucky enough to have 22 of the beautiful darlings. I love the color way your currently spinning but also love the natural colors that will never go out of fashion.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
I think I would like to eat that yarn! It looks like Starburst...oh no, I've triggered a craving! That cardigan looks decadent...
ReplyDeleteDelicious pastel yarn! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI lost everything you wrote when you typed Alpaca ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see that pattern. A friend gave me one she bought years ago but I'm not feeling it. Your patterns are always lovely so this I look forward too.
The Shalome KAL looks like fun. A cardigan is a bit too ambitious for me but I always enjoy reading about people who knit garments.
As always, I love your posts (even if I don't comment) and look forward to reading them. Have a wonderful weekend.
