Is there anything more delightful than acquiring new yarn? Bringing into your life more color, texture, and planning what to do with it? \u00a0My life as a knitting instructor takes me to incredible events with yarn markets that place so much potential in my path. \u00a0Resistance is futile.<\/p>\n

Apparently at Stitches West I was in a mood for blues and greens (may as a response to all of the pink yarn I have been knitting). \u00a0Personal knitting generally consists of adding to my wardrobe, and when I saw the tunic dress, Green Mountain Flyer<\/a>, at the Green Mountain Spinnery booth, I was immediately drawn to it.<\/p>\n

Designed by Maureen Clark, this is a lovely garment that could be a staple of my wardrobe, comfortable and classic. \u00a0But I worried about whether the wool would be too warm for the office. \u00a0I tend to layer, these days! \u00a0Fortunately, Green Mountain has many fiber options. \u00a0I chose their Cotton comfort yarn, which is a 2-ply DK weight that is lighter weight. \u00a0It is 20% organic cotton, 80% fine wool. \u00a0The green\/blue colorway spoke to me, being vibrant and calming at the same time.<\/p>\n

The Erin Lane bags that I picked out to carry my drop spindle supplies and Lucet projects also had similar colors. \u00a0So did the Habu yarn that I bought at Madrona. \u00a0I’m not sure what that yarn will be used for, but I am going to knit a swatch to see if it is suitable for a “Daily sweater<\/a>“, from “Mason-Dixon: knitting outside the lines” \u00a0I’ve knit this before in Rowan Calmer, in the sweatshirt weight that the pattern calls for.\u00a0 I think a lightweight version knit slightly over-sized might be really cool. \u00a0We will see if I change my mind after swatching.<\/p>\n

So, it looks as though spring will be Green\/Blue season for me!<\/p>\n
