My Yarn-Pal from across the country has sent me an awesome little package. It's "L" themed. (Lamb's pride bulky, Lion brand Landscapes (love this yarn, love love love this color), Little bit of microspun (sooo soft & silky!), & Lost banded ball of red cotton).
I have never knit with anything other than wool, she is coaxing me out of my safe little woolen security skein. I am so excited! I cannot wait to sink my needles into that microspun... any ideas???
THANK YOU again Yahaira!!! You Rock Sister Sticher!!
Microspun is fun to knit with, but it's a pain to join ends or weave them in. I found a pattern for an armband mp3 holder in the knit.1 magazine and used Microspun instead of the recommended yarn - it worked out pretty well. It's very soft for being so synthetic. =)
