I'd like to know what idiot thought it would be great fun to create viruses and send them out into the world to affect people they'll never meet and will not benefit from hurting. Sick people. Since I haven't recently paid someone to protect my computer, I can't currently use it, do to aforementioned viruses. It might be a couple of weeks before I can post again. In the meantime, happy Independence Day to all my US readers!
In February, I published a mitten pattern with Windy Valley Muskox . It takes about 1 1/2 skeins of this fabulous yarn so you'll have to buy two. Of course, you could make the cuffs longer! I'm thinking I need a version with fingers (aka gloves). It's on the back burner, for the moment. In the meantime, let me tell you how lovely it is to work with qiviut! It is one of the softest fibers, definitely the lightest, and so warm for the weight; it's best as a light layer under others, and luxurious close to the skin. Sometimes, people misunderstand and think that qiviut comes from the inside coat (I'm not sure how to imagine that), or the underbelly of the muskox; that's because it is often described as the "under coat." What this actually means is that it's the down layer, and grows during the cold months, closer to the skin, all over the animal; it's like down feathers on a duck. I worked for WVM for several yea...
oh, will miss your posts. I hope you can get the whole virus thing taken care of. So frustrating that we have to protect our computers from viruses. You have a good 4th of July too! :)
