I picked up this lovely yarn by Lorna's Laces from Jimmy Beans Wools online shop (http://www.jimmybeanswool.com/). On occasion they have "Mill End or Odd Ball" yarns at a lower price. Its a great find. What mill end or odd ball yarns are yarns that the dye has not taken fully so that you don't have the deep color. But you know what, who cares!!! The colors are still beautiful and not told to anyone, no one would be the wiser. The yarn is still good quality and those looking at garments made by these lovely yarns would not be able to tell that the color didn't take as it should have.Welcome To Mom's Knitting Room
Welcome to my blog page. My site will update from time to time. You may on occasion see items rearranged or removed. So don't think you're going "crazy". I am still learning to navigate within the blog world. My knitting experiences have been very slight. I have only been knitting about four years. Learning the "ropes" and "ins and outs" of knitting from my mom who has been knitting for over 50 years. I have had the privilege of having many talented women and men teach me their "tricks of the trade". They have been generous and patient with me as I learn this craft. You might wonder why its taken so long for me to catch the "bug" of knitting, but until recently it occurred to me that this long lived art would die with my mom as she is the only one of three siblings who can knit and crochet. So in order to keep the tradition alive and hopefully pass this on to future generations in our family, I ventured out on this new journey and chapter in my life. There are many knitters out there so willing to help "newbies" along this expedition of knitting. Along the way, I have been able to impart some new techniques, skills and information to my 80 year old mom. I've been able to introduce her to fabulous fibers as well. . . . . Who said "you can't teach an old dog new tricks?!"
