I have wanted to try this technique for a while, and I am really pleased with the result. I used Noro Korchoran. I have to say that Noro has very interesting colourways, they go from lovely blue and purple to black, green and brown. The end result is lovely, but very questionable while you are knitting it up! It did leave alot of hairs on my clothes while knitting, but doesn't seem to shed much when wearing it. The pattern is from Magknits, easy to follow and worked up very quickly.
Now to my other business at hand. I am in the process of a new business venture. In order to make it the best possible for all of you, I would like to ask if you could please answer the following questions and send them to my email. Unfortunatly, Blogger won't let me do a proper form, so if you could copy the questions and paste it into an email, answer them and send it off, it would be a huge help.
1.What level knitter do you consider yourself?
2.Over the past year how many projects have you started?
3.What types of projects did you start?
4.How many skeins/balls did they require?
5.How much do you spend per ball/skein on average?
6.What is the most you have ever spent on a ball of yarn?
7.What is your favourite yarn brand?
8.What weight yarns do you prefer to work with?
9.Do you consider yourself a seasonal knitter, i.e. do you knit with cottons in summer and wool in winter?
10.What fibres do you prefer?
11.What is the colour you most often choose?
12.Which three brands of yarn would you wish for in your ideal local yarn shop?
13.Do you prefer to buy in a shop or over the internet?
I should have more information for you in the coming weeks on this venture, so watch this space! Thank you in advance for your help.
