Well, actually, this is an afghan that I started recycling last year...pulling out more than two/thirds of the wool and turned it into yarn cakes. This one of the three yarns I used for the Love Knots Blanket project. The last third of the blanket was on the couch.
I have semi-volunteered to do another test knit, but this time I told the designer right up front that I would not be able to finish on time so she could choose to include me or not. She emailed me back to say that the size I want to knit is possibly not going to be chosen but someone else to knit so she might be able to use me anyway. We shall see. This is the yarn I will use. REALLY trying to use it up!
This is Hilda Yates' yarn, spun and dyed by Bartlettyarns Mill in Harmony, Maine. I have used the same yarn many times over past years but now my taste in yarn is gradually shifting to finer/lighter-weight yarn. Of course, this means smaller needs and longer lives to the projects but the item in my lap will not be anywhere near as heavy. I feel like a complainer/baby when I say that but it does begin to make a difference.
