Having too many options always seems to make decisions more difficult. The days are ticking by on the 4 ounce challenge (deadline is Sept 30). I don’t have any fiber from Hello Yarn or Southern Cross Fibre, but I do have plenty of Spunky Eclectic fiber to choose from. That’s part of the problem. Well, that, and not even being able to decide what kind of pattern I want to try to come up with. Socks are always fun… so is lace… ooo, what about a cowl? If I can’t even settle on what it is I’m going to make, how can I pick the right fiber for the project?
The top fiber in the running is a Spunky Club offering from last year – Selfish in Shetland. I’m also considering the newest shipment, which I can’t give details on yet. The nice thing about the Selfish is that it’s all set to go. When I received it last year, I split it up and pre-drafted it. So, it’s ready to spin. I’m also finding the maroon, orange, and green combination appealing. I think I’ll aim for a 2-ply laceweight yarn as I’m considering knitting something like a cowl or shawlette.
Off to ponder…
If I had time, I was considering turning my Selfish into gradient laceweight singles for a shawl. (It may still happen, just not by the end of September.) I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
