Paris Yarn

E. from work got back from his Paris vacation a couple of days ago and brought me this spiffy laceweight yarn! It's called Mohair Caresse, and the label says it's 73% mohair, 25% laine and 2% polyamide. What's laine? Heck if I know. But it's lovely yarn, fuzzy and soft. I would say it's pinkish/purplish/reddish with faint bits of black and even fainter bits of orange. I'll be researching this yarn to see what else I can find out about it and what I can do with 2 skeins of it.

Bracelet

I have a fair bit of yarn left over from the Daria purse, so I made a bracelet using this pattern. It's hella easy. It took maybe 10 minutes to knit and then I just attached the clasp. It took more time to choose the clasp at the store than to do the actual project. So far I've made 3 of these. And I might make more. At least one of these will be for A. since it's her yarn. :-)









Update - I made more!

Sweater Vivisection Photo Montage

This was a second-hand sweater. It was too big, but made in such a way that I could unravel it. So now I'm experimenting with making a top-down raglan out of it. We'll see how that works out - I think I've got the size right, but that's still a bit of a challenge for me.
