Michelle, finished knitting the sampler blanket. She has three more strips to block, and finishing details.
This blanket was knit with Cobasi (Light Fingering: 55% Cotton, 21% Nylon, 16% Bamboo, 8% Silk, 220 yards). One of the stockinette squares gets a rocking horse worked in duplicate stitch. She found brown wool in her stash, looked like Koigu. To make sure it wouldn’t run when washed, we put a small bit of yarn in a cup of cold water and let it sit there a while. All is good.
She’s ready to shift to my Fallen Halo that she is knitting with with green Cashmere 5 and Cashmere Glitter yarn. A truly luxurious experience.
Thank goodness for Linda’s musings. They are the stuff blogs are made of. 😉
