Book Yarn, Part X

22 September 2011 · 4 Comments

An exciting thing happened yesterday.  The nefarious scoundrels lovely employees of the customs office released one of my packages and the saints of fed ex brought it right to my door.  In that package was the very last of the projects for Book the Second.  That means that I currently have all 20 projects, finished, washed, blocked, and tucked safely in the box.

This is a very good thing, as the planning meeting with the photographer is next week (eek) and the photoshoot shortly after that. To mark the momentous occasion (er, and because I’d been meaning to do it for a while now anyways) I’ve got the final yarn previews for this book

On the left is Three Irish Girls Beckon Stretch Merino in the color Burke.  Now don’t be confused by the word stretch in the title.  It seems to refer to the way the yarn is spun, not from the fiber content.  It’s 100% superwash merino and quite versatile.

On the right is Three Irish Girls Adorn Sock in the color Padraig.  It’s a lovely sturdy sock yarn with 20% nylon.  And as always, Three Irish Girls’ colorways are totally delicious.

And now that I have all the projects in, I might do a few teaser shots (sort of what I did last time) and finally come clean about the theme and structure of the book.  In a few weeks…once I’ve had some time to pet all the pretty wooly things.
