I’m winding off yarn, while winding up creatively, and gathering colorways of skinny yarn culled from my growing baskets & drawers, to knit ‘held together’ into fluffy cowls. Like this one in blue. Two shades of Malabrigo Sock and one skein of Shibui Silk Cloud…
My official Rest From Knitting continues through the weekend as I am basically doing the prep work to the knitting, and cleaning and organizing my space(s) too, paying close attention to the somewhat random beginnings of the next process.

Pretty! I bet it’s going to have lovely texture 🙂
Hi Lolly ! Well, as frugal as it is to use up stash sock yarn (admittedly I went way overboard earlier in the year with my Spring infatuation with Malabrigo Sock yarn…lol) that yesterday was a Sunday-drive-to-Petaluma to my favorite shop Knitterly, was going to buy posh/plush fluffy fat ultra chunky yarn, then instead, bought two skeins of the skinniest they have (although very fuzzy)… and I’m letting out a loud guffaw over the irony here ! You see, I then thought about the whole ‘holding several strands together from my part-skeins of sock yarn, with one fine strand of puffy fuzzy Shibui Silk Cloud I think will be the transforming element to make lovely cowl-ish gifts. And so here I am… with even more yarn. 2015 is going to be interesting as I may make a vow to knit only what I have, and not buy new, we’ll see about that!
Oh, sorry… waaaay too much information! lol.
Jen, this is a great combination and will be fun to knit. I’ve given up telling myself fairytales about me not buying new yarn. I’m a grown up now and will just have to suffer the mess of having way too much yarn:)))
Ah yes Carol ! Just the reason why it is so much fun to send stash to our friends 😉 ((I am presently overhauling Tartan & Tweed Mitts, and using the sport-weight Cascade Superwash you sent me ! )) xx
Oh! That sounds like so much fun!!!!!! Can’t wait to see them.
