Because Guild is part of Newport, NH, and because Newport, NH is the home of Hodge Podge<\/a>, a fabulous yarn, fiber, and spinning store,\u00a0 I thought I would make a quick stop at Hodge Podge for some yarn for my newest pattern acquisition:\u00a0 Sock Yarn Balloon Tying Creations<\/a> by CID HANSCOM DESIGNS.<\/p>\n

There are about ten of the cutest designs imaginable for \u201cballoon tied\u201d animals.\u00a0 I showed the patterns to Eldon the other day.\u00a0 He was favorably impressed with all of them so I thought rather than immediately give the pattern to Cynthia, I would use it first.\u00a0 I have chosen to make the elephant, the bird, and the duck.<\/p>\n

The elephant pattern calls for 2 colors:\u00a0 Trekking XXL #1005 and Trekking XXL #314.\u00a0 Hodge Podge does not carry Trekking yarn so I found a lovely gray and black named Licorice by Patons Stretch Socks<\/a> yarn.\u00a0 For the blanket part I got Regia 4-Fach Haltbar in Farbe: 01800 and Partie 43448.<\/p>\n

The duck will be the same Regia<\/a> 4-Fach Haltbar in greens, oranges, and yellows as well as some Reynolds Soft Sea sock yarn in color 0853, an orange for the bill and feet.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Bird is going to be several blues and purples from Chirapa<\/a> hand dyed merino spun in Peru.\u00a0 The shade is 703.\u00a0 The same orange for the beak as the duck and some Chirapa hand-dyed merino in a browns\/black\/oranges for the nest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
