Pantry plans projects More blog I've given up, do not write anything, and boasts have something. We Homko replenished kladovochku yarn Cownie. Once upon a time, stumbled on the network for things related of this yarn, I was literally numb from the enthusiasm, and began to look for, where to buy thread to tie such a beauty. Through a long search, I found two online stores that sell this yarn. One is located in Kazan, the other - in St. Petersburg. In Kazan, prices are higher, but the delivery without any problems, I was ordered two weeks later, I bought Pink Pale, pale pink monotonous. In real life the color was darker, more likely, as the ashes of roses. " Prices in St. Petersburg were lower, so the next purchase I ordered there. In December. Then We corresponded for a long time with the manager, who explained that the threads are not, and delivery is expected in February. I agreed to wait. And waited ... until April! But I must say well worth the wait - an incredible thread. I bought the Pink-Beige, or "fruit candy", and about 500 grams. (* Who bought Cownie knows that weight is not smooth, skein weighs differently *). In conjunction with Pink Pale created a beautiful, tender duet. Judge for yourself:
from communicating on different rukodelnyh forums I know that thread should be washed before using. What I did this weekend. Water was changed twice, it was grayish-brown, even dark brown. But the thread got a little soft, fluffed up, became brighter and clearer in color. I'm worried that the wind hanks in coils is a difficult task, because I did them without rubbing, then crumpling and fluttering, trying as best as possible wash. But my fears were not realized. One and a half hours of work, and three were skein coiled into a neat coil, without any kind of effort and loss of thread. While stow, enjoying colors - ash-beige smoothly into in pink, who, darker, becoming lighter, and easing the transition to white. Shades are soft, that there are no words.
Purchase of yarn pulled for another problem - the spokes. I now need to buy needles on the fishing line with the numbers - 1,25, 1,5, 2, 2,25. And somewhere in my collection needles begin with 2.5. Cownie for not too Fittingly, I will not knit in two lines, and in one, but it is very thin. But this problem can be solved:)
Knitting Project is proceeding very well. By Berzherovskoy tunic left link arms, now I like what you get. I tried on her necklace of turquoise (* read "govlita" as stocks of turquoise, as I learned here here - http://english-drawing-room.blogspot.com, on our planet depleted 50 years ago. In principle, I do not care what the name of the stone, I like the color, and how the stones look with things *), found that the combination of gray and turquoise looks fresh, a little later photo lay out.
Peterborough I deferred. Threads chose thick, and drawing on them does not look perfect. The back is connected, but with the shelves until the catch, but to dismiss anything I will not find another picture, and a cardigan still will relate, it was found that such veshchichki really need in my wardrobe.
vest slowly picking out repainted thread, I hope to finish the fall:)
That's all the news. Hopefully the next time will show finished tunic:)
