The most exquisite yarn I ever knitted......Ah my... The most exquisite yarn I ever knitted... I splurged and paid $30 for an ounce of qiviut back when nobody had ever heard of the stuff. Tried to spin it. Dryer lint--gack. It sat there for years till I finally gave it to my friend Rachel, who spins far more finely than my fingers do, and told her to keep it and not give it back.<br /><br />Yeah well. Guess what she did.<br /><br />And she not only spun it and gave it back to me, she felt moved to do so at the same time that, I soon found out, an old high school friend of mine on a bike was hit by a car and survived, thankfully, but as a paraplegic. Yow. And so that qiviut, an amazing amount of yardage for the single ounce in Rachel's hands, got knitted up by me as a scarf for Chuck, and whether he wore it or his wife, it's all the same to me. Rachel was very grateful too that our work was so well timed and so perfect for where it so clearly needed to go.<br /><br />So instead of yarn snob, I'd say yarn appreciative.AlisonHhttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.com
