Handspun Poppy


I told you I had the knits! Last night I spun 700 yards of singles for my handspun Poppy! Oh, I didn't mention my handspun Poppy? I love this sweater. Love it. I love the one on the cover and I've loved every single of the 49 that other Ravelers have made. But since I can't afford 10 skeins of Noro and since I've never seen one knit out of handspun, a creature is born!

The thing is, I love the look of the yarn in the sweater, those colors, those long colorchanges. Fucking fantastic. However, I've never knit with noro ( I know, can you believe it?). I have an odd ball that a friend sent me a while back and I've done nothing but gaze upon it. That all changed last week when I pulled out a bit to see how long the color changes were -- 20-30 armlengths.

The next day I dyed up 6 pots of wool and last night I set to spinning. The arms and top of the body are blues, greens, teals, turquoises, purple and a bit of gray throughout. The body is gray with hits of the other hues throughout. I wanted the gray body to tone down the rest of it a bit, lend a bit of calmness.

I don't have anything for myself out of these colors so if it works out I'll be overjoyed. We'll see. I'm not totally secure that it's going to look anything like the pattern, but I'm really excited to knit it up. I'll probably spin the gray tonight and do some gauge swatches tomorrow while I wait for my $1.55 copy of the book to arrive (I got it on SALE, I know, right?).

I am still knitting the Loop d loop sweater, though it's lost a bit of it's shine, what with the yarn-assiness and all. I should have pictures of the progress soon and you can marvel at the crumminess.

Oh, and the shop is updated, early nonetheless.

I am on a green + purple kick at the moment, so I absolutely love the colors you've chosen! Can't wait to see it knitted up :)

You have inspired me. I have been meaning to try and spin some Kureyon and never got round to it. Purple and Green? - my absolute favorites!
