New Colorway
Karen sent around an email today: "I was just looking at the Jimmy Beans Wool website (my favorite online yarn shop). They have their own limited edition colorways of Lornas Laces Yarns: the new colorway is called Roadside Gerry, after Annie Modesitt's husband Gerry." This is part of a new special collection called Color Commentary. Others featured in the collection include Franklin Habit (Panopticon) , and Amy Singer (Knitty).
If you have a minute, drop Annie a line.
Stop Fraying - NOOOOO!
I made a scarf for colleague that I have really enjoyed working with over the past few months and it turned out really pretty. I made it out of baby alpaca, so it is super soft and has a
wonderful drape. Only problem is when I weaved in the ends they kept slipping out.So I fixed that. Sto
p Fraying. Yep, I put glue on it.So now it looks like someone used the ends of it to clean their nose. I was mortified! So, resigned to my fate, I decided go buy more yarn this evening and start over. My mom, being the practical person she is, suggested that I just cover up the "markings" with flowers. That will save me a lot of work!
Etc.
If you would be so kind as to visit Knitsy you will read a new profile of a fabu shop called Day of the Head.
As promised, I will post the winner of the question of the week tomorrow. Have a Happy New year. We can discuss our knitting goals next!
Bye!

love that colorway...stop fraying.. handy!
Yeah, just embroider some flowers over the gloop. Next time use Fray-Check. It sinks into the fabric and you can't see it. There's other stuff out there that's basically white glue and kinda useless.
Lovely Lornas!
And have a Happy New Year! Glad you found my blog, by the way :)
Thanks for the tip about the fray check. I was sooo disappointed with the goop. Thanks again!
