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.
