Dyet Yarns: reuse, recycle, reinvent!

Project Progress

Posted on April 22nd, 2009, by Nuri

Two projects I haven’t mentioned in awhile:

My lace virgin project is coming along nicely! I’m about 80% done with it, and am on the last ball of yarn. I’m finally good enough at it that I’ve stopped forgetting YOs and don’t need the lifelines as much. I’ve got the hang of the pattern and the chart, so it’s nice and relaxing now. Got to watch out for that knitting hypnosis though. I can end up working on it for hours without realizing how much time has passed.

Interlude Lace Wrap

I don’t know if this yarn will block or not, but it will be pretty either way.

Next we have another raglan sweater project I started a few months ago with a mystery yarn. I think it’s microfiber of some sort…whatever it is, you can see that I still have a huge cone of it left (in the basket). I’m not really sure what I’m doing with this one…it’s kind of a free-form playing around project. Ribbing on short sleeves? I dunno what I was thinking when I started that. I guess I’ll see how it turns out! The body fits pretty nicely; the ribbing on the front starts just below my bustline and gathers the sweater a bit around the waist. Red’s not really my color, but this is a rusty kind of red and the yarn was free, so I’m not complaining.

WTF Sweater

Whatever the yarn is made of (pretty sure it’s synthetic), it’s very soft and nice. It actually might be some kind of rayon…dunno. Don’t really need to know, as long as it’s machine washable, I guess. Free is good.
