Oops! I went shopping! I can't help myself; I went to the new yarn shop, Yarn Swift, to get yarn to round out a project composed of miscellaneous sample and leftover skeins and instead of coming out with the completed yarn for one project I came out with three.
I don't know what comes over me -- I walk into a yarn store, or a fabric store, or a trim store -- and some evil fiber maniac takes over, a raving lunatic who fondles and drapes and piles things up like crazy. I dissavow all knowledge and responsibliity for her actions.
Here is what sent me to the yarn store in the first place. This accumulation of goodies has been sitting on my sewing room floor, waiting for me to go to the yarn shop. I was intentionally putting this off, but at the same time I wanted to get the project out of the "waiting for materials" pile and into the "can be knit" pile.
And here is the completed assortment for this creation, which will be some form of sweater set. The shell will be mostly the blue Euroflax linen with a little bit of one or more of the other yarns, the cardigan will be more of a mix:
These two photos were taken within seconds of each other; I can't imagine why the light and color are different.
I also purchased some green Euroflax linen. I was actually considering this color for the sweater above but the blue seemed to go better. I have had this shell pattern, Lily, for some time but never got the yarn. Following Liana's progress on Lily reminded me of what a nice pattern it is. When the green yarn didn't work for the above mix, I knew just what to do. Here's a picture of my new green linen and a copy of the Lily pattern:
Last but not least, there was this really printy rose yarn on the sale table. Another summer tee, I'm not sure of its actual configuration yet, but probably something very simple:
