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.
I 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! ;)
Those colors are beautiful... Have fun at Rhinebeck!
