I’m having terrible trouble staying focused on any one project. Tonight I dug out the Wisdom Skye yarn in the Maroon colorway that I scored off Ebay from Your Stash or Mine last month to check it out for the Sweater Bag from Lion Brand Yarns.
This picture made me fall in love with the pattern though the knitter of this bag told me that her yarn didn’t hold up well to use (pilled and turned ratty looking).
Pattern requires bulky yarn and I don’t have much. I’m not sure how the multi-colored part will work out but the yarn is smooth enough that there should still be good enough stitch definition to resist being drowned out by the color changes. Also the yarn is predominately an intense maroon with splashes of other colors.
It wasn’t til I took the photo of the swatch the next day that I realized that one of the other colors was a dk green. There’s a surprising range of color in the yarn so should make for an interesting bag!
Not sure if I’m going to keep it for myself or give it away as a present to someone else. We’ll see.
Oh I also knitted some more on the square for “Dark Doe”.
