caroline hegwer: Plying Brings Me One Step Closer to Knitting

Monday, January 25, 2010

I just finished plying the first skein of the red Shetland roving for the Floral Vest. I chose a simple worsted 2 ply .

I think the color is even more striking in its final form, the heathery tones just glow.

Knitting the vest is going to be pure bliss!
