I knit the cardigan in a week, but it's taken a year and the pressure of another looming Rhineback to get around to piecing it together. Procrastination, I haz it.
The milkweed pods are drying nicely, but (wouldn't you know it?) according to an article by Lili Pintea-Reed (posted by Leesy), the best floss is collected from green pods and spun while still moist. Naturally, mine are seedy.
Reminder to nonprocrastinators: my Sheep 2 Shoe kit giveaway is open through October 15.
Very nice sweater and it's actually sweater weather for R'beck.
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought you were supposed to spin the pods when moist. Huh!
I really hope the other sleeve is just missing from the picture! ;)
ReplyDeleteThose colors are beautiful... Have fun at Rhinebeck!
