Happy end of January too many things have happened in January that were beyond my control. I hope February is a better month and the little ground hog if it even wants to come out of its hole has a hopeful forecast. I’m healthy, hubby is healthy and kids are healthy.
New sweater was started with a hand dyed yarn from Mankato, Minnesota, 2 skeins of almost solid light blue is Dakota Skies and 2 skeins of blue, white, pink and yellow is called South Dakota Prairie, it looks like a winter landscape here when the shadows are long and blue. I paired them with a light blue kid silk which is kid mohair spun with silk. Just heavenly to knit and feel.
I thought I could knit the multi colored skeins then the solid blue…..and it looked like I ran out of yarn……so I ripped 10 inches of sweater and rewound the yarn with the kid silk rather than separate the 2 strands. Now I’m knitting a row of blue and a row of the multi colored yarn. The blue in the second skein of multi was grayer than the first, they looked different in the sweater. Now it’s blending like it belongs together. I used the light blue for the ribbing on the neck and I will for the hem and button bands. The yarn paired with the kid silk feels so nice I’m glad I ripped so I could knit it again. Hoping February is better than January—Ann—
