A Tale Of Two Yarns (or maybe Three) - 2KCBWDAY1
So I thought a bit about this and found out that I actually really really really like yarn (or wool) as we say here in the UK "yarn" seems to be the American equivalent - I could be wrong though, so don't shoot me!!
Anyway to date my favourite is a battle between my newly bought bamboo/wool - wool (get the pun!!) (pictured here):
and my Wendy Cashmerino, pictured here:
I'm working on both of them on at the moment and well, I just love the feel of both in my hands, on my fingers....so smooth, so nice...so aahhhhhh!!!!
To be honest, I think the bamboo one is just winning (just) - maybe the colour has something to do with it.what do you think???? Didn't like the colour at first (yea I know but it was on sale!!) but now that I am knitting it up - I think I've fallen in love...literally!! I'm making a sleeveless top with it and so far so good...aahhhhhh (again).
So, from the "I'm Loving You" yarn to the "I'm Not Sure That I Like You", yarn (pictured here):
Seriously, what was I thinking...?????!!!! It looks like a throw back to the 70's and Disco. Not even sure what to make with it, as I only have 3 balls and one of them is white...(er..don't ask...no really, don't ask)...It doesnt even have a name (not one that anyone recognises anyway) - it's called Shimmer Love, Love Yarn..(I take it back...its from the 60's!!!). And to make matters worse, the photo is supposed to be horizontal.... I don't think the camera liked it either! What to do with it......someone help me PLEASE!!!???
