sometimes
even failing can be really lovely.
cey’s montera is a versatile work horse yarn.
it’s been in their line-up for quite a while now
and i just love the feel of how it knits up.
it brings so much personality
to the table.
but, despite the things that it can do,
i can’t get the cables i have planned
to stand up and ‘pop’ enough in it.
so, it’s time for a little
rearranging of fibers and colors.
not that that’s a problem for me in any way.
getting to dream about what more yarns could be,
and picturing in my head what a different color will do to a design
are my version of daydreaming.
really for me
any excuse to try to listen to what a yarn wants to become
is an unexpected treat thrown into a normal day
like running out of homemade bread and having
ice cream for breakfast instead.
all good.
The yarn looks soft and loosely plyed in the photo. Is it? It looks to me as if it wouldn’t hold its shape well enough for cable work. Can’t wait to see what you try next! 🙂 I love the gray colour.
montera is a single ply and has lots of fiber ends giving it almost a halo. i want to knit it into a big oversized pullover that would be worn every day just kicking around the house with broken in jeans and knee high furry slippers. like a sweatshirt, ony in yummy wool. but, that will have to wait for another time. swatching of the cables have begun in another yarn. details coming in a few days…
