Sheri’s most recent blog post got me thinking. For the past few months, I’ve had a series of Fiesta sampler skeins marinating in my stash:
left to right: 32º, La Boheme, Ballet (I think!), and La Luz
They’ve been marinating because I’ve been stymied: what do you do with four sampler skeins, all in the same gorgeous colorway but each with its own seductive texture? Swatching them individually didn’t seem right; they belonged together, in some sort of simple but stunning project. Mitered squares, maybe? Entrelac? Nothing really grabbed me.
Until Sheri’s post about Carrie’s Summer Wind scarf/cowl. What if I knit a similar loop that could be worn doubled as a cowl, or folded and tucked through like a scarf? Picture a fabric with welts, like Sandra’s Swirls, with each welt in a different yarn.
Talk about a mash-up: yarn from Fiesta, fabric from Sandra, construction from Carrie, styling from Sheri… but I think I like the idea.
