Yes, just one more project to get started with. I saw this book advertised at the back of Living Crafts Magazine and had to get it. The book is full of instructions to make a whole knitted farm yard scene and a story to go along with it.
This book is designed using the Spud & Chloe Yarn line from Blue Sky Alpacas. This yarn is partly super wash wool and partly cotton in a worsted weight yarn.
While I am sure it would be great to use this yarn that I am sure is divine, I checked on the prices. It seems that each skein is just under $20. That means to get all of the colors to make just Chloe you will be spending around $60 once you add tax or shipping. Now I am sure that each skein will be able to be used in more than one of the patterns. It still comes out pretty pricey for me.
I am presently using some "Wool Ease" that I have on hand to test out the patterns. I may also experiment with other worsted weight yarns to complete this cute little scene. So far the patterns seem pretty straight forward and I hope to be able to learn enough from working my way through them that I will ultimately be designing some of my own cute little things. Some ideas are fluttering through my mind.
