I have an amazing collection of yarn. My Aunt Betty has gifted me with fabric an yarn over the years. If you have never heard of
Aunt Betty, check out this great video from Professor Pincushion about Aunt Betty.
I've been trying to find the perfect project for what seems a never-ending supply of orange. I don't have a problem with orange. I like it along with the other colors. It's just that there seems to be so much of it. I've cast on with it a few times, and started out crocheting, too.
Until I found this Moss Stitch Shawl pattern I hadn't found the right project. This is two strands of Knit Picks Comfy Worsted in the color "carrot". This is a cotton/acrylic blend that is washable and soft.
I paired it with a collection of textured yarns from Dancing Leaf Farms called Biggie. It is six different bases dyed in the same colorway (it seems I only have five). I'm holding two strands of yarn together while I work the pattern. Sometimes I'll pair two strands of the solid color, sometimes I will pair one strand of the solid with a textured yarn. The fabric is soft and heavier than I expected but wonderful.
I have no idea how this is going to turn out, but I'm looking forward to the adventure.
