I've done it and ruined it like you're supposed to and in the end I added in very last bit of chunky I could find... Sirdar Norsgarn circa 1974, Alafoss Lopi Pink Elephant leftovers, bits of this doubled up bits of that trebled, round and round on the circular needles, we all grew quite fond of it and I fended off all the '...er why? ' questions with the 'It's a prototype' response.
Still no requests received for hand-knitted spinnakers for ocean-going yachts so, feeling like an executioner I led it to its fate.
By now feeling like a murderer...
I had to leave the room, in fact go and, tricoteuse-style, knit something else to take my mind off the final execution.
So it took two days to dry properly over the Aga, but now ruined to fuzzy felted perfection and I just have to think what to do with it next.
Is it a bag?
Is it a cushion?
Is it anything else at all?
