Knaked knits swag!

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

One of the podcasts I listen too is Knaked Knits by Sydney. She has become a good friend, and we do eachother favors every now and then. I made some graphics for her and as a thank you I got this package with a T-shirt, buttons, Colinette Jitterbug yarn (that I have never tried) and some yarn she claimed she did not love any more… well most of this yarn has already been turned into shawls…. I got inspired and casted on right away :)

And this time I also got some balls of the Cashmere tweed yarn they have, and it is already on the needles and on its way to becoming a shawl…like that was a big surprice to you…

Pure Merino

Friday, June 4th, 2010

I ordered some Pure Merino from idas.yarnshopping.com and I got 16 balls + shipping for just about 235 NOK. And the package was delivered at my door!  The yarn is very nice, a little bit “splitty” but overall very nice to knit with.

I started the Tappan Zee cardigan with it and I have just divided for the arms and body.
