I was struck by something Roobeedoo wrote recently; that since a knitting project takes so much longer than a sewing project and, as well, lasts for so much longer in your wardrobe, the sensible self-tailored individual plans future sewing projects around a current knitting project; not concurrently. So sensible! An edict; the singular wisdom of which I had not appreciated before then...
Thy knitting projects are the key to planning thy wardrobe, y'all!
I bought this lovely wool during my afternoon out in Paris with Donna of Nid de Tissus, so it brings back happy memories to me of our fun chatty lunch and fabric/wool shopping excursion together. A wearable souvenir! It is from Renaissance Dyeing; 4-ply poll dorset wool hand-dyed with natural plant dyes in France, colour Canigou. Terrified of not getting enough I bought four skeins so obviously Murphy's Law decreed that I had overestimated how much I would need... doh! I can never get that bit right! The cardigan used just over two skeins, so at some point I am going to order some more and make something else using my almost two whole leftover skeins. I do already have ideas, hehehe :) The full range can be viewed and ordered here.
