Stash Sunday – Three Irish Girls O’Donnell

by

I know, I know.  It’s been several weeks of TIG.  What can I say?  It’s what’s in my stash.  I never thought I’d be one of those people who favored an Indie Dyer so much, but really?  Sharon knows what she’s doing.

O’Donnell was ordered to go with two different other colors I had in my stash.  I was zoning in on the end of a shawl, and I found that I was running out of two of the colors I was using.  I e-mailed Sharon explaining what colors I had, and that I wanted something that complimented them.  She suggested Siorse and O’Donnell, and I got two skeins of both.  O’Donnell went into the shawl, the other did not.  I do not regret it, but I could have easily gotten away with just using one skein of either.  So I have a lot of the brown left over.

That’s okay though… I have some plans for it.

Stash Sunday – Three Irish Girls Kells Sport Merino

by

The Yarn Spot has a special colorway that is native to the store called Pansy.  Pansy is lovely, but not quite the color I’d want to work a big project in.  I’m not quite sure I’d be happy with the type of pooling it would do.  BUT, Pansy has a friend, Pansy Green, that I really like.  It’s a cheerful color, full of pop and verve.

I got a bunchload of it, the first time we had it in stock.  The next time we re-ordered Pansy, it was MUCH darker, and while I like the new dye lot also, I think this one suits me more.  At the time, I was thinking of working a cardigan, and I still am.  However, when I bought the yarn I was nearly 30 lbs heavier, and well, I don’t think I’ll need as much as I got to get around me now.  Just sayin’.

Anyway, I have some ideas of combining this with two other greens I have for TIG in Kells to create some type of Irish/Shamrock themed sweater.  Details to follow, but I think it is going to have to be steeked, to get my idea the way I want it.

For now, I’ll just admire it every time I pull it out.

Stash Sunday – Three Irish Girls Springvale Sock

by

Last year Michael and I traveled to Chicago for our big trip of the year.  And of course, I had to drag him to a number of different yarn stores, including Windy Knitty.  I lucked out… unbeknownst to me, Three Irish Girls was doing a trunk show at their store.  I only have a bare half hour to spend at the store, but while there I managed to pick up these gems.

The colorway is called Song Sung Blues, and it’s a series of mini skeins that are just gorgeous.

I love blue, I wear a lot of it, and one day, it’s going to be something simply beautiful.

Stash Sunday – Three Irish Girls Beachtown Mini Skeins

by

I have a lot of Three Irish Girls in my Stash.  It’s not surprising, because The Yarn Spot is one of its carriers, but I was collecting it even before I moved to Maryland.  Let’s just be frank: Sharon knows her stuff.

These Beachtown Mini Skeins go with a normal Skein of Beachtown I have.  I dunno if I’ll be using them together, but the colors are pretty typical of my palette.

Do you find yourself trending back to a particular color combination, or set of colors?  Most people do, but I’m not sure if everyone does.
