The Enchanted Forest Fibre Yarn Arrived!!!

Although it was last Sunday, I had to post about the lovely visit from Karen of Enchanted Forest Fibre. She is an indie yarn dyer in Norway, who was in Portland. She personally delivered my belated mother's day treat to my Meetup Tigo Knitting Group.

This is about 700 grams of yarn (enough for 7 pairs of socks). Karen knit with us and I had a blast.

I've already started playing with the beautiful yarn. I'm working on a last minute doily as a centerpiece for my table tomorrow. I'm doing my best to write down the pattern. Would anyone be interested in testing the pattern? You don't have to use fingering weight yarn or a D/3 (3.25 mm) hook. Larger or smaller would be fine. There are matching coasters that go with the central design and the coasters mimic snowflakes so there is some opportunity to use this as a winter decoration as well.






I'm hoping the lovely new yarn will be great inspiration.




Work is going to be pretty busy for the next few weeks, so I'm trying to take a breather this weekend. Cleaning and keeping the little kiddo busy seems to have taken up most of the time, but it's been fun :).














For this week I'm so hopeful that I'll be able to make some progress on my Karoo Vintage square. Three sections have been released and I haven't made it through the first one yet. In my defense, two were out when I started, but I'd like to catch up so that I'm not so far behind when the fourth section is released.

Lastly, I finished another test today and am happy to take a break from testing as well. This is the Unicorn Shawl by Kayla Powell. I love the chevron stitch pattern.

Happy crafting and have a great week.
