I am standing at the top of the ski jump. Just standing there. And standing. And standing... The yarn has been finished for days now. I've done two samples, still like my stitch pattern choice, am good with my gauge, have measured a nice fitting vest... I'm ready, but I'm just standing. Over-thinking which jumps I want to do, how many turns in the air, (actually, I'm probably trying to learn the names of all the jumps and turns ;-).
Anyway. I'm not really sure what the hold up is. I need to just get out of my head and git ta knittin'. I guess the main hold up excuse is how I want the bottom edge to start. Which cast on would be best? Do I need/want a few rows of something straight and stable or will the patterning itself be enough to keep it from rolling? Hmmm, if I cast on provisionally, I can over-think all this WHILE I'm knitting. That's today's goal. Just. Get. Started.
In the meantime, here are some pictures of Rebecca Boone's pretty yarn.
A few snowflakes added for fun.
I have to say this is some of my favorite yarn I've ever spun. It's soft and fuzzy, pretty to look at and carry around. It's exactly what I wanted - a yarn that reflects her curly locks.
Even washed and combed out, the curls shine through.
Spun softly, but definitely not a fragile yarn. A yarn with character, much like the sheep herself :-).
