14% Mimosa
Personally, I think you guys were biased toward Cranberries and Heat Wave because they resemble the Lorna's Bittersweet Colourway that was used in Kate Gilbert's Knitty version. But still you have wonderful taste :).
Anyway, I went a little crazy and, following James' advice, ordered three skeins: 2 skeins of DK silk-merino (500 yards each), one in Cranberries (per your suggestion) and one in Mimosa; 1 skein of sport silk (625 yards) in Hummingbird. I might return one of the skeins, or I may keep them all and use two for gifts.
I decided to order one skein of the sport weight to try it out because it has enough yardage to do a full-sized Clap. But I hesitated to get more because I think I want a single-ply yarn like the Lion & Lamb rather than something with the twist.
Anyway, now I'm REALLY on a yarn diet. Really. Reeeeaaaaallly.
Someone remind me that I'm a student next time, k?
Posted by jess at April 28, 2005 3:59 PMThat's funny - I must have been responding to your earlier post while you were typing this one up!
Of course - its the 'twist' that I didn't catch in the two different yarns. I think I'll be ordering the sport silk merino in hummingbird as well. Do you think the 625 yds. will make it? What size needle do you think?
Can't wait to see your pics when the yarn rolls in.

I'm coming in to NY on May 12- we should meet up if you're available. I'll be in town until July 25. Make Workshop is having a free crochet workshop/book signing on May 12 (yes, the day I come in) that I'm going to. They require RSVP - I think it's going to be fun. Just wanted to give you a heads up on that, and find out what's new with you. Talk to you later!
