Knitting with Bamboo & Wool
My yarn arrived today!! Yippee & Yaya wanted to take the kids for the day. You can probably guessed what I spent my time doing. Jemma kept me company. Always at my feet. She's learned to stay in her yard & we're slowly letting her play & hang out without the leash..which she loves. & I love that she listens!! (except when there are squirrels or rabbits involved.)
Back to the yarn thing..I started the Madelinetosh "Tiny Leaves Cardi" for Maddie. I bought yarn for both her & I. She lucked out & got this awesome yarn which is a mix of bamboo & wool. So soft & silky!! Mine will be 100% merino wool. The only downfall is you have to hand-wash wool & dry flat, but I wanted to make something with more natural fibers. I love the way the yarn feels on the bamboo needles..does that sound weird. Oh, life's little pleasures!~
Also..I'm including Jack's wrist warmers that I finished!! & He loves!! These were really easy once the three needle thing got going. I see more in the Demos' family future:)
