To: Knitting A Conundrum

I finished the sleeves on a sweater for daughter #3 so she could wear it to school this morning.

4 strands of yarn on size 17 needles, so it knits up in a blink on circular needles.

I'm starting one for daughter #2 this evening.

I made one for myself earlier this week on size 35 with 6 strands but have been wearing it as a vest because the DD's have been chanting make mine, make mine and so I haven't got my sleeves done yet.

I used two strands of a brushed mohair novelty yarn that's heathered purple and dark gray, a strand of Lambs Pride Charcoal, a strand of Muskoka Merino Purple and 2 strands of Kroy Sock yarn in varigated purple and blue and I'm really rather pleased with it.

Where do you get the yarns you mention? Have a link or name of mail order company? I'm really into natural fibers, but too far to purchase them often. Thinking of getting a couple of Ramboulet sheep and doing my own, but a lot of work.

Sorry to crash the party. I was perusing and fell in love with your tag line. Just had to mention that.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled conversations.... :)
