I love the colour of her jumper, too, but I'm knitting it in Lana Gatto Jaipur, in the blue colourway, simply because I had enough balls of this to get started without worrying about running out soon, and also because I found 14 balls of it on the fabulous Internet here, at $3.00/ball. The original price was probably around $12 or $13/ball, so I was able to buy enough to finish the jumper for just $40 odd. That's amazing, especially because, according to the pattern, I need 21 balls. 21. FMD.
Anyway, I now have these six balls of Jo Sharp Alpaca Silk Georgette, which is discontinued, in the beautiful grey, and no idea what to do with them. Socks? Too thick. Shawl? Too old lady. Hat? Too late, I've done Rome'n. Hahhahahahahah Oh I'm so funny sometimes. Sorry.
Ahem. Anyway, if anybody has any suggestions as to where I can get more of this beautiful yarn, at a price that doesn't involve selling Mr Golightly's body parts, or even better, some sensible suggestions about what I can do with six balls, I'd be grateful.
Ciao!
Buried in my hardly used wool bag is half a ball of Jo S Silk Georgette Pepper, Isabella, if u wd like. Also a ball of same in a gorgeous terracotta shade, whose name I have lost. Needs good home.
ReplyDeleteA shrug? My Mother tried umpteen times to teach me to knit. Never took.She knitted me a shrug once. Nice! (Sort of half a sweater.) No ideas how many balls it took. Concept is foreign--it's knitting, after all. Huck/Swedish embroidery? That's another story!
