Birgit Kuisma	answer to shirley about 3/84 2008年 4月 15日火曜日 7:31:23 am Hi Shirley and thanks for your compliments!! The yarn is definitely more lime than mint, it´s a yellowish green. I asked Richard to twist the yarn and paid also for skein winding and washing and the result was not twisty at all. It is perfect!

shirley lau	bleeding heart stole 2008年 4月 15日火曜日 4:51:00 am Dear Birgit, Your stole is absolutely gorgeous. Is the colour more towards Mint or solid lime colour? I would like to know whether you asked Colourmart to twist the stand for you. Was the resulant yarn twisty? They mentioned that twisting is ideal only for single strands. If the twisting is satisfactory we'll be much more versatile with our choice of yarn. thank you for sharing your information and the picture of your lovely stole with us.

Beverley Thompson	1st Pram Throw update (from 5th December 2007) 2008年 4月 14日月曜日 4:23:19 pm My first posting of this item was on 5th December 2007 – soon after my friend’s 1st grandchild (based in Leeds) was born. I met the child, for the first time, last Saturday and was absolutely delighted to “see” the throw in use. In fact, the mother told me that the colour of her son’s pram is grey and that she always gets complimentary comments about the throw. (I also made one for her nephew - featured below) Having outgrown the Colourmart hats that I initially made for him, these have now been passed on to his cousin. As I’ve still got some yarns left from my Scrap Sets I’ve offered to make another 2 hats for him. This post relates to the following product: 半端ものセット

Birgit Kuisma	3/84 Bleeding hearts stole 2008年 4月 14日月曜日 11:16:52 am I used 3 strands (twisted) of 3/84 50:50 silk/cashmere in pale lime. The stole is 55 cm wide and 180 cm long and it used 91 grams of yarn. THe yarn is lovely to knit, I used 3,25 mm needles for border and 3,5 mm needles for main pattern. Gauge was 27 sts and 26 rows = 4" in main body panel pattern on larger needle. This is my first FO with Colourmart yarn and I just love it. The design is the Bleeding Hearts Stole by Anne Hanson, presented in IK spring 2008 This post relates to the following product: カシミア45％　シルク55％極細　・　カシミア50％　シルク50％極細
D C Petro	Cashmere Merino DK 2008年 4月 13日日曜日 4:44:53 pm Here's a before-washing swatch knitted from a "scraps set". The yarn is 4 strands (already twisted) of 2-ply. The lower portion was done on Size 6 US needles (4.25 mm) & got 19 sts & 26 rows over a 4 x 4 " (10 x 10 cm) square. The upper portion was done on Size 5 US needles (3.75 mm) & got 22 sts & 29 rows over a 4 x 4 " (10 x 10 cm) square. Off to wash it now!

Sheila Wong	51% alpaca 49% cashmere 2008年 4月 11日金曜日 7:52:46 pm I made this lace jabot out of the alpaca/cashmere lacewt. After the usual hot water detergent wash & rinse, there's slight fulling at the edges which resolved upon some pulling during blocking.

D C Petro	Response to Beverly 2008年 4月 11日金曜日 3:03:48 am Hi Beverly, Gosh no, it's just plain ole white paper! (The back of a plot plan that I'm using to work out a landscape plan for a client...) And the grids you see are simply 2 rulers set up so you could get an idea of the size. The ruler on the right is one that's available in sewing shops.

Beverley Thompson	Diane Petro's DK Cashmere & Heavy Knit Swatches 2008年 4月 09日水曜日 6:53:34 pm Hi Diane - just been looking at your photos. Can you tell me what's in the background for each of the photos? Is this a special type of graph paper for measurement/tension square purposes?

D C Petro	DK Cashmere 2008年 4月 09日水曜日 3:37:17 pm Another couldn't wait swatch... This one is 8/14 NM on US 6 needles. I didn't see this weight on any of the pages, so thought I'd post it here. Before washing, it was 5" wide & 2" long, with 18.5 sts over 4" & 6 rows over 1". After washing, it is 5-1/4" wide & 1-3/4" long, with 18 sts over 4" & 7 rows over 1"...curious, eh? And did I mention it became exquisitely soft & luscious? mmmmmmmmmmmm.............. Diane P.S. The yarn used is 100% cashmere, not what it says just below this. I couldn't figure out how to undo that... This post relates to the following product: 8/38NMカシミア17％　コットン83％　中細

Jane Watling	Chunky Graphite Sweater using Johnstons Grey Marls 2008年 4月 06日日曜日 3:32:53 pm The Truro pattern from Jaeger JB36 inspired this sweater. I used 4 strands held together of 3 different coloured Johnstons grey marls which worked brilliantly to produce the softest yummiest sweater ever ! The only thing I am sorry about is leaving it stuffed in a bag since Winter 2006/7 with only the sleeves to sew in ! The shoulders are slightly ‘cut in’ to give fitted look added to by ribbed sleeves. No shaping to waist; the rib hem sits at top of hip. Thank you Richard !

Beverley Thompson	10M Alpaca Top (Knitted Swatch) 2008年 4月 04日金曜日 2:23:59 pm After plying the yarn back onto itself, I soaked the yarn in hot water and shampoo. Left it for 1/2 hour and then rinsed it in another solution of hot water/white vinegar. When cold, I squeezed the skein and then rolled it up in an old towel. I then thwacked it against a hard surface and finally left it on a radiator to dry. When dry I then turned it into a small ball of wool, using my woolwinder and knitted the attached swatch. I like the feel of the finished fabric (slightly hairy). I need to experiment with a larger sample and my first project with some of the fibre will be to make a pair of socks - one ply alpaca, the other with mohair. The finished yarn, I think, gives a good stitch definition. Tension: For a 10cm/4" square worked out at 21 stitches/32 rows. This post relates to the following product: 原毛
Beverley Thompson	10M Alpaca Top (Spun Sample on Drop Spindle) 2008年 4月 04日金曜日 2:04:59 pm I was eager to sample this fibre so decided to spin just half of the initial 13 grams set aside for this exercise. When it comes to spinning tops, I find it best to "slightly" pre-draft the roving makes spinning a little easier. I enjoyed spinning this particular fibre but had to ensure, as one does with alpaca, to add more twist when spinning. This post relates to the following product: 原毛
Beverley Thompson	10m Alpaca Top (Sampling) 2008年 4月 04日金曜日 1:49:05 pm Found my order waiting for me when I got home last night and couldn't wait to do some sampling of this Alpaca Roving. Picture shows my electronic weighing scale, 13 grams of the alpaca roving purchased from Richard, CD disc and the spindle made by a fellow member of the guild that I belong to.

Beverley Thompson	Mum's Sweater - in Progress 2008年 3月 27日木曜日 2:14:52 pm Most of my knitting over the past 7 - 8 months (apart from the pram throws) has been concentrated on small items for friends i.e. baby hats/gloves and various charity knits. I wanted to work on a larger project and as I haven't knitted for my mother for a while (she's a size 24/26) I thought it was high time I made something for her - plus the fact that she hadn't been too well recently. I told her of my plan and was pleasantly surprised at the speed at which she had decided what weight of the yarn and style she wanted the garment to be. Based on her choices, Richard's 12/36NM Heavy Double Knit weight 55:45 cash/silk yarn fitted the bill. I took the remaining stock of the colourway "KARMA". This picture shows the 1st sleeve knitted using size 7 (4.5mm) Addi Turbo needles. The 4" tension gauge is 22 stiches, 28 rows. The welt for the sleeves, plus the front and back of the garment will be Moss stitch. The sleeves (after the welt) will be in stocking stitch. Mum just wants a one-colour sweater so the front/back of the garment will be knitted on circular needles - stocking stitch - with a front 10" panel using a combination of Waving Rib, with Double Cable & Moss stitch. I purchased 7 cones and was amazed to see that each sleeve has taken less than one of the 150gram cones. Will add more photos as the sweater progresses. Both mum and I are very pleased with the stitch definition. This post relates to the following product: 1/2NM・2/7NM　モヘア混紡　合太
