Sally and I finished winding the balls of Cascade Ultra Pima. The colors are amazing. We split all of the skeins to make the cost of the sweater Sea Glass more affordable.
And here is a photo of the Sea Glass sweater:
When we finished winding the balls we began to decide on a color for the ribbing. Sally has chosen a really pretty dark blue called Armada. I decided on black. Webs had Cascade's Ultra Pima on sale. It looks like a softer black than the one in the above photo....but you never know until the mail man comes.....Here is what I texted to Sally:
Thanks. I’ll finish winding them and add them to the basket. I am very happy with our picks for the ribbing. I think that mine is going to be a soft black not a ink color. Of course, you never know until the mail man delivers them. I bought some incan spice yarn that was on sale. Made in Peru and sold by Plymouth yarns….bet it has been discontinued. I had bought 5 balls when Mitzi and I went to Lexington when the yarn shop in the strip mall was going out of business. I bought it for a Steven Be project that was on display. And my notes to myself on my slide show were that I loved the drape of the project on display. But now I don’t love the size of the project and would like to make something bigger ….so I bought some more of the yarn to make a larger project. I had lots of fun looking for a project yesterday….didn’t settle on one but found LOTS of gorgeous project with several colors ….backed into the projects with a search for cheshire cat by Wonderland yarns that was also on sale…but I managed to refrain….but it took me to projects that used mini skeins and lots of colors. The Incan Spice is fingering.
