Welcome

    Welcome to the Knitalong for Blackwater Abbey Yarns! We plan to work our way through Blackwater Abbey Yarns projects at our own paces and discuss them here.  Neither of the Knitalong Hostesses has any affiliation with Blackwater Abbey Yarns whatsoever.  We're just big fans of their yarns.  Need help picking a project?  The official Blackwater Abbey Yarns site is very helpful, but you can always knit from another pattern that hasn't been tested for use with this yarn.  Be daring! Want to join us?  Send an email to snowballinhell@gmail.com and you'll be sent an invitation.

5, 7, 8

Img_1277_1 Needle sizes from bottom up, 5, 7, 8.  Three sweaters knit in Blackwater Abbey.  Colors from bottom up, Bracken, Moss, Bluestack.  What have I learned?  I like the solid fabric on the 7, especially for a guy.  For me, I love the light feeling and drape on the 8s.  Celtic Dreams on the bottom is a bit stiff and probably will get worn the least - it looks nice but just doesn't have that comfy feeling.  As for the colors - just like my children, I love them equally, but some days I just seem to like one more than the other.
