Yarn: Bernat Handicrafter Cotton in Swimming Pool
Comments: This was a great pattern, I used up some washcloth cotton I had in the stash and did an extra repeat of the body to use up more yarn and make it a little bigger. I may make more of these in other colors. It would be great for handspun!
Also I showed you the Llama fiber I had been spinning up. It's done! There is 8oz of handspun, 576 yards total. Of course some of that yardage may disappear during washing, or maybe I'll get lucky and the yarn will grow during washing?
I love the colors of this and Llama is SO soft! It will probably be a shawl or scarf, something that doesn't need to fit and will drape nicely.
Yarn Out: 817g (2058y)
Yarn In: 0g (0y)
Yards Spun: 841y
The shawls yardage had already been added in since it was bound off for my last update, but the handspun is new! Another 576 yards added to my handspun stash! Lately when looking at my stash it feels as if it is shrinking quickly. Part of me is sad to see the yarn disappearing fast, but another part of me is happy to see these things finally being knit with! I have big plans for when my stash is gone, but you'll have to wait to see what happens. :)
