een outside yet so I can make this comment. Once I get out there and have to clean off my car I won't be so generous in my observations.We had our guild meeting on Tuesday night. Everyone was ready to procede with their bags. They learned how to do the tuck and then started into the entrelac. The comment I continued to hear was 'this is so cool'. Here is a picture of some of the ladies working away. The meeting was very quiet-everyone was concentrating.
I didn't get my Swing Coat finished yet. Here is a picture so far. Just have to sew up under one arm and add the collar. Maybe tonight.
Got a parcel from New Zealand yesterday with some yarn (called Vero) that is going to be available in April. (Remember that their seasons are opposite of ours.) UPS has had the parcel for over a month but claimed that they couldn't find it. They wan't us to describe what it looked like. Beth's response was 'It is a box.
What more can I tell you?' Then UPS wanted to know what was in the box and how we would know that it was ours. Beth's response 'It is yarn. If you find any box with yarn then it is ours. I am sure you don't have many of those hanging around.'This is 100% wool made in Italy that will stripe. The colours are great. I have swatched one colour and the yarn is very soft-nice to work with. Am going to do another swatch to felt and see how that goes.
The Swing Coat looks great! I can't wait to touch up on that new yarn ... stripes ... ahhhh.
ReplyDeleteI will have to completely agree with WanniEtta ... The Swing Coat looks great. I love it. Can't wait to see it finished. :)
ReplyDeleteUPS must have a few idiots on board. I've had them ask me "What does it look like?" before too ... Um, yeah, it's a box ... with my name on it. FIND IT ALREADY! *lol* I'm glad they found your yarn ... it looks scrumptious. Love the colours. :)
