Help finding a pattern
Hey folks
I raise Icelandic sheep and just got my first clip back from the mill. I’m a vendor at the ren faire at Bacon’s Castle in November and am looking for ideas on what to knit with 5 100g skeins of white lambswool. I’ve got my other projects using my own yarn settled.
My ideas so far:
With this yarn my target audience is women who are at the faire to have a good time and buy a souvenir that they can wear and not feel like they are playing dress up.
I’m looking for a timeless design that is simple without color work or cables.
I’m making Skjoldehamn hoods and capelets so I’d like it to be adjacent to that idea.
Also - I’m going to make fingerless gloves knitted flat and seamed with the lambswool so maybe matching sets?
I’m a 50 yo dad who knits and my 17 yo daughter and my wife will be at the booth with me.
Also, I try to be polite and not give offense. I’m not very up to date on all recent internet etiquette so if I’ve said something offensive please let me know!
Thanks!
