11.17.2004 :: Feedback time!
A reader left a comment the other day that I need help answering. Gypsee asked, "What is your take on the Morehouse merino? Other blogs (?memory fails me here) mention a concern about fluffing out. I want to make a sweater with a patterned yoke in the bulky weight, and worry about too much fluffing so that it will obscure the patterning. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
My Peacock mittens (November 5th entry) are intended to be a gift and they sit unwashed and unworn, so I have no answer about how the morehouse merino wears. How about you? Have you tried this yarn? How goes it? MaryBeth, do you have any thoughts? Anyone else?
We can get to the bottom of this question together!
I have no progress to share with you on the multitude of knitting problems shared in my last post! Inishmore sits untouched. Freaky thumb mitten sits untouched while I knit it's mate and I have not even unraveled the doomed shedir hat. All in good time. Every knitted mistake has it's moment!
Today, I dig back into my digital camera for some looks back to our mini snowstorm of last weekend. Some of my favorites:
Snowflakes falling in the dark

Snow falling on Rose of Sharon

Snowy bird tracks on our porch

Well, as for the fluffing out, there is some fluffing out, but not to an extreme degree where it would obscure a pattern. More like a softening, if you know what I mean. Cat looking at birds - the best!

Sandy,
I love the kitty picture. We just got a light dusting out of that storm. I guess it is that time already. I have been meaning to comment. I love that stripey thumb, it adds character.

It blows my mind that you have snow already. Pretty.

I LOVE the photo of your kitty! The birdie tracks photo took me all the way back to my childhood, when I thought I'd be an expert animal tracker, haha! Funny how the memories just pop right up!I didn't get much accomplished yesterday in knitting. I was trying a fake-it-as-you-make-it, and it wouldn't work out as well as it did in my brain....

The picture of Fig just cracks me up. Can't you just imagine what's going on in his mind?
I miss you, and hope all is going well! xxoo

Your pictures show the best things about winter. We may as well enjoy it while we can as it seems to get old after a month or two. The cat picture is the best! LOL
