A box of 6 skeins of yarn from Leslie Samson of IAGARB. This yarn is a test run of the new fiber co-op that the group is establishing. Anyone that is a member of IAGARB, and owns German Angoras can submit their white German angora wool to be included in the runs, and will get back an appropriate percentage of yarn. I believe this is a 60% angora, 35% merino and 5% silk blend (this will be confirmed by Leslie once I talk to her). My job is to knit it up into something appropriate and show it at MA Sheep and Wool in May. I'm thinking lacy shawl, which would be really soft, and show off a nice pattern. What ever I do, I'm looking forward to starting on it. In fact, I'm very tempted to stop everything that I'm doing, search out a nice shawl pattern, and start knitting.
And to let you all know....................
I PASSED MY EXAM FROM SATURDAY!!!! I'm so happy! Now I send in my application to the state, along with some of my work for review. I have 2 weeks to get this together, and mail it off to Boston. Any dpn waves my way that this goes smoothly would be gratefully accepted. :)
Off to gather up the products to sell at CT Sheep and Wool tomorrow. If you are in the area, please stop by and say Hi! I will be vending along with David Paul from the Merlin Tree.
