London.crafts wiki - Differences between Version 19 and Version 18 of Kake's Yarn Stash

Version 19 Version 18

* Four random balls of yarn bought from ebay - a dark blue boucle (crochets up nice), a hairy ice-blue (bit itchy), some pink/white boucle (a pink I don't hate!) and a beigey thick/thin yarn. Currently spread over bookcases.
*
Lots of [[Rowan Linen Drape]] that I need to pick up from the office.
*
Some [[Rowan Fine Cotton Chenille]] in Privet that I need to pick up from the office.
* Ten 50g (117m, 128yd) balls of Georges Picaud "Rebelle", bought from ebay for £8.72 in December 2003. The ball band recommends a gauge of 24 stitches and 32 rows per 10cm (4in) square, on 3.5mm (UK size 9, US size 4) needles. 66% viscose, 17% cotton and 17% acrylic. The main colour is silvery (viscose), with little slubs of a sage-green poking out every so often (cotton and acrylic). Currently on my desk at work. [http://the.earth.li/~kake/images/london.crafts/kake/georges-picaud-rebelle-ebay.jpg photo] (it's not really quite that shiny though). I'm thinking of doing something lacy, maybe along the lines of my fishnet crochet jumper.
