Here is what I finished this week. I miss playing with this yarn.
One thing I did notice was that there was not the same amount of each color in each skein. Even though the lot numbers were the same. For my shawl, it isn’t going to bother me. However, if I was making something where I wanted the colors to play the same as I went along then I would have been disappointed.
Perhaps this is what happens with Noro yarn. Has anyone else noticed something similar?
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I am down with covid again. This is day two, so I am expecting a high fever anytime now.
Time for some mindless yarn work just to keep my hands busy.
Stay well, everyone.
I don’t think I’ve used Noro yarn before, but I have had that happen with other yarns before. I made some socks last year with self-striping yarn (can’t remember what brand it was, but it was commercially produced, not indie) and there were two sections in each sock where the colors did vastly different things (one was a blue/white faux fair isle but the other had solid blue, and one had dark grey and the other had white), even though the yarn was from the same ball. I was kind of disappointed because I had managed to make the patterns match exactly except for where the yarn itself got the pattern wrong, but they are still cute socks!
Great discussion!
We bring out a wreath and a beloved table runner for the beginning of advent. Stockings and other decorations on 12/5 for St. Nick to come that night. Tree goes up when our older son comes home usually the Friday before 12/25 and stays up until 1/6.
I have a retail store and we put up the Christmas and winter giftware in November because people tend to buy it before Thanksgiving for hostess gifts and decorating their own home.
We had a summer cold go through the family and after recovering from that, I smashed my toe moving a bookcase. I’m hoping I can get a pedicure by next Easter.
@Sjuly I think you are wise to put them out when you do for your retail store. Speaking of that… Can you tell us a bit about your store? Do you have a web site??
