Are you ready for something fun and easy? This will be a Mystery Knit, in which each week I will post directions. Yes, this is something that could actually be finished in about 3 or less days, depending on the speed you knit, but this project will be more about the enjoyment of just doing a little at a time during those moments when you don't want to start anything too big, but you have an hour or less time in which you want to be creative.  Remember, it's the process... jot down your thoughts, ask me questions, and simply enjoy!

So here is the first installment:
It's time to go SHOPPING! Have fun with this... search online, search eBay, search your local shops. In the end, you need to find two yarns. One worsted weight wool (not superwash), and one brushed mohair. I always like to have more than less, so I have about 300-400yds of each on hand. I will most likely use less, but even the extra can be used in this project. I have posted some yarns that I auditioned for this project, (picture is deceiving as I couldn't get the correct contrast right). Twist the two yarns together to get an idea if you like the two yarns together. Hand dyes are great for this! But a word of caution, some hand dyes aren't completely set in their dyes, so at the end of this project you may be doing a lot of rinsing to make sure no more dye runs. Commercial yarns are most likely fine. But I love trying new artist yarns. Support the hobbyists... sometimes their yarns are simply wonderful and one of a kind!

Make sure you have a size 10 circular needle, 16". I am a "go with the flow" creator, so use what you have if you don't want to buy anything new. Gauge isn't overly important. 

Next installment May 9... stay tuned!
