I played with a pile of Merino mini-rovings sampler pack I have had for years;
I carded them to make some colorful batts that will be spun over the next few months.
I dug out this charm pack and put them up on the design wall-
this is not the final arrangement; I just put them up in a quick dark and light pattern.
I will keep arranging this for the next few days before I sew it together for a top.
I laughed at myself when I made this dishcloth on the knitting machine;
when I teach others to quilt or knit,
I always say start easy and build your skills with one success after another as you progress.
I should've taken my own advice and made this first!
I knit the center and then picked up stitches around the center
and worked the garter stitches outwardly.
I will play more tomorrow; I think I will make a towel to match with this yarn,
Cotlin from KnitPicks.
Oh, those batts!!!!!
