knitting into the night

This is a ball of yarn I made a few years ago. It is made out of fabric, lace, yarn, trims etc...all tied and knotted together.

Here is a knitted sampling of what this kind of yarn looks like. Now, isn't this simply delish.
And I really like knitting with the wooden needles....these are by Crystal Palace in a size 8, but I knit it loosely.

I don't think I am going to turn this into a scarf. I might just knit a few more rows and use it in one of my fabric pieces.
I am open to the possibilities it offers.

I actually think that this would look cool framed and under glass as wall art. Just a square of this, maybe even left on the needles would make its own little work of art without having to be functional (as in wearable). Well done!

You should try bamboo knitting needles. They are so smooth and a delight to use. I've used plastic, metal and wood but bamboo is my favorite.

oh Alma I love this - love the colour! I am the world's crappiest knitter - I know how to do it but I am really, REALLY bad at it. Last year I tried to knit again and even my Mum, who is supposed to support me and is obliged as a parent I think to say "that's wnderful, darling", actually said "you're really not very good at this, are you?".

I'll leave it to your talents I think!!!!!
