My Yarn

On my way to work last Tuesday morning, I stopped into Wabi-Sabi, my local yarn store (LYS) to browse. Browsing is rather unsatisfying when you don't have a goal in mind. But my mind is on our Master Knitting Level 1 program and searching for a yarn for my samples is my goal.

Carol, the owner, welcomed me and I shared with her my secret. What a wonderful feeling to share a secret with someone who appreciates it! Her Mission Falls - 1824 Wool yarn in many beautiful, greyish toned colours, did not include Natural. When I mentioned this she told me she could order it in, but who wants to wait? I've selected Oatmeal for my colour to knit my samples in and only purchased one ball of yarn to begin with.

Here it is, and I began my first sample, ripped it out, began again, ripped it out because I can't remember how I increased, and I'll be ripping this one out too for the very same reasons.

It has come to my attention, that I would like to dedicate an hour each evening, in my studio, concentrating on my knitting.

How are you going about it?

I'd really like to do what Discoknits did. Knit the first three, send them off. I would like to knit the entire lot to find out something I take so for granted is messed up and I'd have to redo them. I like to learn as you go.

p.s. my package arrived the same day as you, how anti-climactic it was to receive it! $10 for the instructions and the postage was 96 cents to ship to Canada. Bitch Bitch Bitch. Today: I Bitch
