Beverley Thompson	Amber's 5 sided Shawl 2010年 8月 18日水曜日 5:48:42 am Hi Amber - thanks for sharing the image of your project - from what I can see, it looks great. Was sorry to hear about the chemo treatment - hope you're now on the road of full recovery. Is there any chance that you'll be able to post another photo of the shawl, to show the stitch detail, I'd love to see it close up? All the very best and I very much look forward to seeing future projects from you on this site - by the way, did you have a boy or a girl?
Amber Kelley	Five Sided Pattern "Starfish" Shawl using (2 cones) two piles of 2/28 100% Cahmere in Osprey 2010年 8月 17日火曜日 9:13:19 pm Hi all, this is my first post, I completed my first Colour Mart Yarn order this year. I used two piles of 2/28 to knit this beautiful five sided shawl. The pattern is from the 2006 book Knitting Nature by Norah Gaughan. I knit the pattern on size US4 needles in the round decreasing down from 730 stitches. Laid out flat the shawl is a big pentagon with slits for your arms. The project took me two years to complete. As you can see it looks great even on a bald girl. I was diagnosed with breast cancer two weeks after discovering that I was pregnant. The experience has been unforgettable! Pregnancy, surgery and chemo have made me into a dedicated knitter and have given me the time to finish this piece for myself. Anyway, I just want new customers to know that this is a great company. They have beautiful yarn. I absolutely love the feel of this piece. The way that the cashmere drapes makes it look like a designer piece rather than homemade/handmade.
Beverley Thompson	Beverley's World Cup Hats in use at Vista Nova School, South Africa 2010年 7月 31日土曜日 10:35:47 am I was waiting for permission Lynette Haupt - the Vice Princpal for this special needs school - to use this photo so you can see for yourselves that the hats got to their destination. In her note, she thanked me for the hats and said - as you can see for yourselves - that both the children and teachers wanted to model them. To avoid disappointment, the staff have proposed that the beanies (as they call them) are displayed rather than given to specific pupils to keep and on special occasions such as "best class award" on Fridays or inter-house competitions, the beanies will be worn by the winners and will be seen as a very special privilege! Isn't that great news and all using Colourmart's E-bay scrap set and main online yarns. http://www.colourmart.com/eng/bargains/scrap_sets/scrap_sets

Tami Cushing モデレーター: : Richard Lawn	My First Colourmart finished project too 2010年 7月 16日金曜日 3:54:14 am I finished blocking this shawl last week. First project with colourmart and the same pattern as the last poster. Used 2/28 cash/merino in a light grey knit straight from the cone. What a beautiful fiber. Everyone that touches this shawl ohhs and ahhs at it's wonderful softness. Love it! Love the pattern also, great combination.
Beverly Barfield	My first ColurMart Project Aeolian Shawl 2010年 6月 26日土曜日 6:36:34 pm Hi Everyone, I finished my first project with Colourmart yarn. Its called Aeolian Shawl by Elizabeth Freeman. I used Cashmere Merino Silk 2/28 in Kaki with US 4 needles and size 8 beads. This is my first lace project as well as the first time I ever read a chart. I was surprised myself on how well it came out considering all the firsts. I'm starting another shawl in Extra Fine Merino 2/28. Love these yarns. http://www.colourmart.com/eng/cas...cash_silk/cashmere_silk_merino_yarns Treat your dreams as if it were real life and real life as if it were a dream. Eventually your dreams will come true!

Beverley Thompson	Update on World Cup Hats 2010年 4月 29日木曜日 7:31:07 am Excuse the poor quality of the photo. This was taken by a friend's house on Tuesday using my mobile phone. They've also taken a photo and when that comes through I'll swop theirs with this. Currently have made 20 with another 12 to go before the 12th June start for the World Cup. Luckily with a couple of bank holidays at either side of May - I should be able to finish them all. I'm currently re-doing the one for Italy as I felt that the green in the first hat was too "pale". I've also re-done the one for Germany as well as I wanted a more vibrant red. This has been a learning curve to say the least. I'm not going to struggle where the ones for Australia, New Zealand and the USA are concerned and recently purchased 33 woven badges of the countries concerned - which also gives the name of the country. Hoping to post a photo of all 33 hats by the end of May, very beginning of June. Beverley Thompson
Baerbel Hurst	cash cotton 2010年 4月 28日水曜日 5:59:50 pm This yarn was a wonderful surprise - the perfect blend for absolutely every weather and a fine yarn for cables.
Tossy Garrett	Shawl Collared Pulllover with 80% Wool, 20% Silk worsted in "burnt orange" 2010年 4月 25日日曜日 2:57:06 pm This pattern is from Vogue Knitting magazine, Spring issue of ... 09? (I think- I lent it out so I can't check) This yarn didn't soften up too much after washing, it is probably better suited to outerwear (as the description says). But still, I love the sweater!
Nancy Gardner	100% Cashmere DK Spearmint 2010年 3月 26日金曜日 10:22:26 am I've just completed a gents 54" Aran sweater. I've used 938 grams to knit this and used two patterns to obtain the necessary number of stitches and design as very few patterns are available for much larger sizes. Have laundered this and found it retained it's width but lost 2" in length from nape to hem. It now wonderful and soft. Used 50% M&S Cashmere washing liquid and 50% fairy liquid. Seems to have worked very well. Tumbled dry on low heat until almost dry then hung in my pantry [where central heating boiler is - so dried completely over night]. Delighted with results! Kindest regards, Nancy Stirling Scotland Cheekyfluff
Dorothy Stewart	Fine cashmere Scarf 2010年 2月 20日土曜日 9:46:58 pm I used Colourmary 2/45 100% cashmere to weave a scarf using a snowflake pattern for 4 shaft looms. This was published by Laura Fry in Twill Thrills. The yarn behaved beautifully with hardly any tangling. I expected it to be really tricky but not at all. I used a 50 epi sett and threaded 600 ends. I wove to 70" The right hand floating selvedge broke three times but I think it was 'operator' error ! When washed the scarf did not shrink much but the yarn became very very soft. A great success and it may be repeated especially as I now have an 8 shaft loom ! Dorothy
