Yarn Love... Part Deux

Well, here's more perfect yarn from Irish Meadows. I'm using it to make another custom Samantha Infinity Scarf & it's a true joy. Scrummy, yummy & sumptuous aren't enough to describe how soft this feels. I'm loving working with this. Srsly. I'll be sure to post pics of the finished Samantha when complete. This color is called Maroon.

Yarn Creation Confection Follows...

Oh yes! It's all about the pretty with this custom Samantha & Evie for a fabulous customer of mine. She gave me the incredible opportunity of working with some phenomenal yarn.

The Samantha turned out perfectly. Apparently the 2-ply alpaca yarn actually rolled on it's own ever so slightly when I was making it, so the end result is just that much more lovely. It is seriously scrolling naturally. I just love that. Additionally, I extended the circumference a bit & made it just a little wider than the usual Samantha design. Mostly in an effort to counteract the 2-ply thinness but still achieve the same drape & warmth. It seriously all worked out.

There was additional yarn left over & I made this Evie as well. Posh yarn should always become a posh something or other, so Evie was a good decision. The drape of course is somewhat different than the usual Evie but it's just as sleep and very beautiful.

Anyway, it seems my adventure in yarn is not quite over as my customer has found another yarn from Irish Meadows that she's loving and would like to have made into an Evie. I'll be sure to post about that bit of posh yarn when it arrives. For now, enjoy the sumptuousness.

Besos!

Into Every Life A Little Fabulous Yarn Should Fall

Every once in a while, something majorly cool happens. I get to work with yarn that I've not had to buy myself. It really doesn't get much better than that people. ;)

This yarn was shipped to me from a Irish Meadows Alpaca Farm at the request of my customer in order for me to make her a custom version of my Samantha infinity scarf. The color is Bay Black & I have to just say, it's simply a joy to work with. It's a 2-ply so is resulting in a different but still spectacular rendering of the Samantha. I'll post pics later this week when I've completed this confection.

Oh, one more cool thing, Irish Meadows sent 2 additional 100 yard skeins of a nice alpaca yarn as a bonus. My customer is totally awesome & totally wants me to keep it for myself. Seriously, how often does one get such a gift... more yarn?!!! Fabulous. Absolutely. I've no idea what I'll do with it yet, but I'll keep ya' posted.

Okay, that's it for now. Must get back to work.

Besos!
