I have a major case of startitis. I am working on a scarf, a third spool of bison, our bedroom and the poem, a shawl, and then right out of the blue (no pun intended) I got the idea that I should spin this...
Isn't it pretty?....
I love this fibre. It is merino.... well, it's called Optim which I think is merino that has been stretched using chemicals. This particular Optim has a little Tencel blended in for fun. It is turning out to be absolutely gorgeous when spun and looks like this.....
I think I will weave and I mean really weave a scarf with this stuff. I have a very fine heddle for my rigid heddle loom so I think that I will go that way... but then maybe Iwill rent a loom from the guild and use a 4 harness loom.
See what I mean by startitis. I see some lovely new fibre and that's all I've got in my mind..... suddenly all the other projects that I'm working on have drifted away across the universe and here I am with thought of divine blue.....
It all started with this....
I saw this picture on APOD the other day and have been dreaming blue ever since....
I even got out my beads and looked for some blue beads that would coordinate with this to make the blue scarf more appealing.... yeah.... serious staritis.
Why oh why can't I ever get finishitis!
