De senaste åren har jag spanat på Geilsk Tweed men inte kommit mig för att köpa garnet för jag har inte vetat vad jag ville göra med det men nu visste jag! Innan min fina virkade kofta försvann, sörjer den verkligen, så bestämde jag mig för att göra en ny av detta garn, tänkte att det kunde vara kul med lite färg då allt annat i min garderob börjar förvandlas till svart. Eller så kan den mörkblåa färgen bero på att det inte finns svart Geilsk Tweed, åtminstone inte hos min återförsäljare... Struntade i provlapp utan satte igång direkt för hur galet kan det bli när man virkar en rektangel? Närmar mig 20 cm och allt ser fint ut än så länge. Intressant nog är färgen faktiskt sådär i solljus men mycket mörkare i skuggan, praktiskt för mig som egentligen ville ha svart!
A few weeks ago we had a Knitting event here in Borås and despite my disappointment a two years ago(forgot it last year) I decided to have a look. It was not as big as the Sheepfest in Kil but definitely better than last time I attended it! There were books, workshops, yarn and everything in-between, or every in-between that you can have with about 30 stalls...
The last few years I have had my eyes on Geilsk Tweed but never bought any since I have not had the slightest idea about what to make but now I did! Before my beautiful crocheted cardigan disappeared, I miss it,I decided to make a new one out of this yarn, thought that it could be fun with some colour since everything in my closet is turning black. Or it might have something to do with the fact that they did not have any black so I had to settle with the darkest colour I found... Did not bother to make a sample because nothing much can go wrong with a rectangle, right? Closing in on 20 centimetres and everything is looking good so far, Interestingly enough the yarn is this colour in the sun but much darker in teh shadow, perfect for me since I really wanted black yarn!
