Still valid is my goal of being mindful about stash enhancements. I am not one to get stressed about any upcoming show update. I don't have to knit with the hottest yarn in the market. But, if a skein strikes my fancy, I will let it come home without guilt.
I am enamored with this Swans Island yarn. Check out their beautiful website: here.
Organic Merino | 525 yards | Fingering Weight | Natural Color Collection
The second skein screams "tropical spring" to me. It is from Three Irish Girls.
Adorn Sock | 430 yards | Fingering Weight | Wendy Darling colorway
Don't you think the yarns go along well? I need pattern ideas. Suggestions are very welcomed.
For a very practical discussion about stash enhancement, I recommend watching episode three of the "Hand Me My Knitting" podcast around the 22:41 time mark. Link here.
That Wendy Darling yarn is just beautiful. I'm not surprised it came home with you.
ReplyDeleteI know you understand how it works :-)
DeleteJanina Kallio has some beautiful shawls using 2 skeins on fingering yarn--you can find her patterns and lots of other pretty ones on RAVELRY----https://www.ravelry.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions!
DeleteSo pretty...I can hardly wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! We will see if I have the will power to knit with them right away or if they will sit in stash for admiration :-)
