Saw some beautiful yarn ;-)

Hello,

Today I saw some great yarn in a little shop that also carries sewing notions. I’d really love to make something with it :D . 
Is any of the designers perhaps planning to use it somehow? It’s the Schachenmayr Frilly  . 

Best regards
Michaela

Maybe something using a mix of patterns and materials ... plum and various shades of gray-brown, perhaps ...

Hello Michaela

this yarn isn’t new—it’s been around for quite a while. You can really only knit these scarves with it.

Best regards, Marion

Hi Marion,

Honestly? Hmm, personally, I don't really like those ruffled scarves. Maybe I’ll just buy a skein to look at :-)

Best regards, Michaela

Dear Michaela,

I have some of those skeins, too. I can’t really think of anything sensible to do with them, but they’re really great just to look at and touch. Every time I open my yarn box and see them, it makes me happy.

There are more absurd reasons to buy yarn.....

Hi Michaela and Dagmar

I also had some yarn like that lying around for a long time. It even had little pom-poms along the outer edge.

At some point, I got the idea not to knit this yarn the way you're supposed to. I simply kept it together and knitted it with a thick needle.
Dagmar, maybe you'll think of something for it too. For example, as a belly for an animal or an amigurumi?

This is what mine looked like in the end

Thanks for the info. I was thinking earlier that I should crochet a bag and maybe incorporate some stripes or panels with that beautiful yarn.
Phew, I’ve already bought so many patterns and have countless others on my wish list. When am I ever going to get to all of this? What is the average life expectancy for women again? :D

Best regards, Michaela

Well, crocheters and knitters have a life expectancy of at least 180 thanks to their safe hobby/passion.
How else am I ever going to finish everything on my list....

Dear Marion, I’ll think it over. I actually held that ball of yarn in my hands again just yesterday. I’d set it aside for the kindergarten. But I just can’t bring myself to part with it.
It’s white with fringes and little black pom-poms inside. And as fluffy and soft as a kitten. I couldn’t even tell you exactly what it is anymore, because the label’s already gone.

Well, maybe it really is a kitten—if I can bring myself to use it.

Dear Dagmar

overcome your "inner resistance"

The rest is missing.

Sacrifice your beloved yarn. I’d love it if you’d show us your creation sometime.

Have a great rest of your day.
