Here's the shibori-to-be. It's a suri merino by plymouth yarn co. color 2037 which means pumpkin if you don't speak number. It uses US7 -5sts=1inch. 55% suri alpaca, 45% extra fine merino wool. I'm feeling sad to sacrifice it to the machine and then to the Asian hippie process of marbleized felting. But hey I'm committed to the class, so there you have it. We're using a Silver Reed LK150. The directions say to cast on 25-30 stitches and knit until 100-120 inches in length. I'm thinking of casting on 40-50 and going longer hoping it will turn out somewhat luxurious. Perhaps I'll actually wear it? I bought eight skeins, so I may actually add fringe and just go whole hippie hog on this one, yippee kai yeah.
