OMG, enough yarn!

I admit that I’ve been neglecting Selma lately, fear of running out of yarn has seriously held me back. But one row here and there makes still progression with bulky yarn - and today I realized that there actually is enough yarn.

I also found some very nice buttons…

Everything is not perfect, though. As you can see from the image the button band is too wide for these buttons. And the first sleeve version needs some adjustment, too. Allthough the sleeve opening of Selma is not fitted at all the sleeve should be to set in perfectly. The opening is in unorthodox position and stretches to remind remotely fitted sleeve opening. But re-knitting these won’t take ages!

I’m so exited about designing knits right now! My main inspiration seems to bee a beautiful material that hits just the right note for some vague idea that has been around for a while… I have a whole new perspective for my small stash. And I have started to make some small purchases, just for swatching purposes…

This chartreuse Habu cashmere speaks to me, loud!

One faint whisper of an idea combines shiny and matte texture - like this powdery Rowan 4 Ply Cotton and Garnstudio Cotton Viscose (just for swatching, just for swatching…)

And I’d love to design thunder gray socks from lovely Koigu!

What if one would be productive enough to design one pattern for every four Project Spectrum elements… …I shall search my stash for fiery findings!
