Finally, the day arrived, and I had my first club shipment. I looked at its bright loveliness, and worked to clear a spot on life and loom to weave it. Then, life was in full swing, and it was, well, it was kind of killing me. But we're not talking about that, and really, that kind of stuff is boring.
Anyway, let's just fast-forward to the weaving part. I loved playing with this kit. It is not something I would have chosen on my own; not the pairing of yarns, not the colors, but it was perfect. To me, it is candy corn, autumn, and sunshine. I decided to not make it a scarf as the pattern intended, but instead I turned it into a möbius cowl. I later found what would probably be a better way to do this, but I still think it turned out well. The weaving was fast with the big, lumpy, bumpy, thick-and-thin, this-will-not-be-even-so-no-need-to-try yarn for the weft that was so freeing. Then of course, there was the fun of the silver sparkle in the warp yarn that I just loved.
This is going to be either a birthday or Christmas present for the daughter, (she's a Christmas Eve baby) depending on the wrapping paper situation. Now, I wait patiently for the next club shipment. Being open to whatever arrives is a good thing.
