To new beginnings

I took a huge dive into my newly acquired Phildar yarns and started this project! It uses this weird Copacabana yarn, which feels like paper. Something to shake me out of the blue-ribbed blues.

I'm also going to try my hand at wood-block prints for my holiday cards. I haven't done this since high school, but my memory tells me that it was fun and easy. We'll see about that! So I'm off to the art store to pick up a few supplies. Wish me luck.

I love that yarn! Is it actually ribbon? I've never worked with ribbon yarn before, and always wonder how it would knit up. Loving that colorway. :)

I suppose it would be considered a ribbon yarn. It is flat like that -- and it feels like paper towel! It's really strange, but I'm enjoying it. I have heard that after it has been washed, it becomes softer.
