* 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. |
This is a vague attempt to keep track of what I have.
