Hey, there AJL campers. Hope everyone is enjoying the spring.
For the Silent Auction I have knit 3 items with yarn originally bought
for a sweater that I never got around to knitting. The yarn sat for 20
years on the bottom of a wicker basket in a sealed bag so's that the
bugs couldn't have their way with it. When I saw the call for items in
the AJL Silent Auction I decided to put the yarn to good use.
The three articles were knit right here in Valencia (Spain) by myself
while sitting either in a variety of cafés at lunch time or in front of
the computer screen at the very very end of the day while watching
videos. The brand of yarn is: Lanas Stop "Lince" (discontinued as of
some time ago), 51% Mohair, 49% Acrilic, 1 2/3 ounces/142 yards
(50g/130m) made in Logroño (Spain). The two colours are pearly
white-grey and charcoal-grey
* Pearl Grey lace cowl http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L0308.html
Imagine this cowl in charcoal-grey. For the cowl, I watched all
known versions of Jane Austen's "Emma", "Julie and Julia" and "The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
* Acadian Shawl/Scarf for Storytelling Time (...or as you like)
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/acadian-shawl Imagine this
shawl/scarf in charcoal-grey. For the Shawl, I watched seasons
1,2,3 of the "Big Bang Theory" and season 3 of "Castle".
* Garden Trellis Fingerless Mitts
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/garden-trellis-mitts I
made these mitts longer than in the picture because I think they
look cooler that way. They almost come up to the elbow but not
quite. For the mitts I watched BBCs "Rome", first and second seasons.
I have ripped out and re-knit all the dropped stitches, errors, and
blips. However, I have no doubt that one or two remain which is the
grand difference between store-bought and something made by your mom.
