october knitcrate
Sunday, November 04, 2018Well, my travel schedule kept me from getting to this space much in October. Now that I have some time to hunker in, I plan on spending more time here. Although it is November, I still want to share with you October's knitcrate. It's one of those things I feel that I can't move on until I do!
This months theme is Verdigris. The patina of time, faded, peeling and rubbed-down boards; pastel-soft matte finished, ceramic smoothness, and the play of shadow and light on everyday surfaces.
I'll be casting on using this month's crate as soon as I finish a couple of things on my needles. (More on that later.)
The October membership crate had me pretty excited. The yarn and the knit pattern! (You remember you always get a crochet pattern too if that is your passion.)
Yarn: 2 skeins of Audine Wools. 50% peruvian alpaca, 30% merino wool, 20% nylon. It's pure yumminess and I can't wait to see the drape that will be achieved using this yarn.
Pattern: Huerta. It's a triangle shawl worked flat from the narrow point to one of the edges, combining two different pattern motifs.
Yarn: Artistic Ewe Yarns in Celery Stalk 75% Superwash Merino, 25% nylon
Pattern: Doubledown a quick ankle sock that uses the yarn double-stranded for a quick effect! (Super excited as I love ankle socks!)
Extra: Chiaogoo 40" US size 2 needles to make the socks extra quick using the magic loop method.
