Jofrog is Knitfrog!
October 12 2004
Sunday a fellow knitsmither, Lisa, brought in a bag full of yarn that she had gotten at our most recent bi-annual swap. In the excitement of the day she'd picked up things that she really wasn't going to use. There was some chenille, there was some hemp, and there was some cotton. People looked through, they took what they wanted, and left the rest. Fast forward to 7PM. Dava, the group's founder, and I are cleaning up the chairs and tables... there is still some of Lisa's yarn there. What's a girl to do? So this came home with me. It was just screaming little girl sweater to me. The yarn seems to be bulky weight cotton yarn with a bit of texture to it. I'll probably start swatching on 9s, and see where we go from there. I couldn't just let the yarn go homeless, could I? Now for the question of, how much is there? In my former days as a biochemist I had all sorts of wonderfully accurate analytical balances at my hands for all of my yardage estimate needs. I really miss that! Julia mentioned, a long time ago, that her husband had picked her up one at an MIT swap that was open to the public. Maybe I can find out when one of those is, or better yet have him keep an eye out for me. What do you think Julia, would he do it?Free Yarn? ...hmm, why not?
