It's nice to be away from the City, but it's also nice to be back in the City.
One great thing about being away from the City is how roomy and fun the yarn stores are. So of course, even though I need not a yard of yarn, I bought plenty! I haven't had a chance to photograph the unpacking of the suitcase just yet, but there will be some fabulous photos coming soon. Can we say we're looking forward to a vest to be made from Diamusee? And that's just one of the many, many, surprises to come.
Thanks again for all your kind words regarding my intarsia. I can't wait to get back at it... which will be when I get home from work this evening.
Posted by Jon at April 2, 2005 08:52 AMJust wanted to comment on your taglietelle experience. I found that the beauty of this yarn is to just "work" it, and not bother untwisting as you go - I too was starting to lose my mind. Don't bother, it still makes a beautiful piece! As far as keeping your yarn from unrolling, keep it in a ziplock bag, with a hole cut in the corner to pull through. Works great! And...you're not the only one who can't stop buying yarn!!!
