Because there is still some knitting going on chez Bluestocking ...
It will shortly be Miss Watts's "Figured Comforter" Mark 2, though, as the first one, while handsome, is far too small. Miss Watts unfortunately gives no indication of what weight of wool, so I picked a rather fine one -- too fine, obviously. But I like the pattern stitch, so re-making it is not an effort.
This is FibraNatura's "Shepherd's Own", formerly in its natural cream color, dyed multiple times with Kool-Aid until I got a red that I liked -- unfortunately it took so very many times that I nearly despaired and now I've forgotten which colors I used. I'm quite pleased with the three skeins above, though a bit puzzled by the marling (marled-ness??) of the one on the left below, and the certainly-not-100%-natural-wool intrusion in the one on the right. I think I can pick it out without ill effect, though ...
The purple and red yarns are both beautiful. I'll look forward to seeing the finished product.
