Michelle and I went to the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival on Saturday. For both of us, it was our first visit and we were quite impressed. It's just a good thing neither of us spin (yet?) because the fibers were just lovely and it would have been hard not to come away with bags full. As it was, we both exercised some restraint. Although tempted by some lovely yarns, three skeins merino/mohair, hand dyed by Nancy Finn of Chasing Rainbows where the only thing that traveled home with me.
While I was looking for something else (I can't remember what, now), I saw an Elann.com ad for this twinset designed by Helen Hamann and was taken. I resisted for about 5 minutes before I ordered the yarn and with it get the pattern. The good news here was that when I got to my cart I had $60 worth of credits (having made too many prior purchases...)
AND then, I saw Helen Hamann's new book Andean Inspired Knits.
LOVE the twinset! Garage sales our house and neighbors this weekend. Lots of fabric & sewing supplies across the street at the fantastic house and some behind us too. One skein of red eyelash yarn at our house. :-) I think you ought to come see! 9-4pm D.
ReplyDeleteI like the twin set too! Did you see elann.com's "Peruvian Sierra Aran" Free pattern if you buy their yarn? I am particularily drooling over this one.. though I dont think I want to use 27 skeins of yarn to make it. Besides, I'd probably drown in it. (Too SHORT) Pout!
