Tweedy Tasty Tuesday!

Posted by Virtuous at 10/23/2007

It has been a minute since I had some Tasty Yarn P0rn up!

Well of course during my Greensboro Yarnsploration I picked up a few little treats along the way :oD

Here is a peek from the This & That shop (unfortunately no website) Today's Tasty Tuesday is all about the Tweed! Brought to you by Jo Sharp! :o)These yummy balls are in the Silkroad Aran Tweed, and is made out of wool (85%), silk (10%), and cashmere (5%) = feels really good! :oDThis yarn is in the color Wintergrass. I am normally not into green but I just kept coming back to it after trying to decide among a few of their color choices!!

Now that I have been online and have seen a variety of the colors in this yarn I will probably order a few more if I like how this knits up!

The tasty tweed fiber will turn into this:

The Berroco Kaiju belt! It's just FAB!!

Of course it definitely makes my "fast & easy" list!! :op

Here it is with the model wearing it

It makes the perfect fashionable knitting accessory for anyone's fall wardrobe. I can't wait to add it to mine! :o)

    Now that looks like one quick & satisfying knit! I love JoSharp, so that should be a great experience knitting that up.

    I'm not one for belts either, but that is very cute. And the yarn is dreamy! I'd love enough of that color for a sweater!

    That's a purty yarn. That looks like an instant gratification project. Maybe I also will indulge too.

    Oooh, I'll have to add Silk Road to my list of 'can do's' as so far I'm fine with cashmere or merino. Anything else brings on the itchies :P

    And here for a second - just a second - I thought you were gonna say it was that potato chip-like scarf around her neck that you were gonna make. I thought you'd gone mad! Heh.
