The book on the right is from Margaret Nock, (MargKnittinAround on Rav). Her book, Knit 1 for The Road, is a nice throw-it-in-your-knitting-bag size collection of small projects that are within reach of beginners, but would make great commuting/conversational/waiting room projects for experienced knitters.
They all use worsted weight, and several are one-skein projects. I have one skein of the Wollmeise. Hmmmmm.
My most recent knitting will be a prize going out, rather than coming in. I was asked to contribute something for a local fundraising raffle, so I used some stash yarn for a quick scarf.
I don't care if it is out of style, I still like that paper-tag stuff. We'll see if any of the ticket buyers feel the same way.

Now re the questions on the klub recipe: When I called Lavonne to ask about the process, her first response was "Oh, do you have some blood you need to use?" I was so busy assuring her, no, I just was curious about the process, that it didn't occur to ask where she got hers. I'm rather assuming that when her daughter (a farmer) has a cow butchered they save the blood. I'm also assuming that I could place an order with Hoesley's, the butcher shop in New Glarus. I could do further research, but it's all starting to feel slightly vampirish and I think I will let it go.
Beautiful blue shades in your Wollmeise. The scarf looks like yarn with streamers stuck on it. I don't think I've ever seen yarn like that before. I bet somebody will like it.

Wow, you are a LUCKY winner! People have fights for Wollmeise.
ReplyDeleteRemind me to tell you about when Scott had a job in a lab in college. He had to collect brains from the slaughterhouses in Chicago once or twice a week.
