Losing my virginity

Now there’s a title! I speak only of yarn, though. :-P Although some people have storage boxes purely to store their Koigu stash, I have never bought any at all. Ever. While I think the colours are pretty, it isn’t the cheapest of yarns and there are so many other pretty varigated yarns to try and I am only one small red-hatted bunny.

Anyway, I bought an odd skein of Koigu from Cairi last week because it was various shades of my favourite colour and I was curious. There’s not a lot a person can do with one small skein of yarn other than admire it:

Koigu

but the Koigu Addict came to the resuce again with this pattern. I bought some dried lavender at my local farmers’ market at the weekend, too, so assuming that I can somehow stretch time, I will knit a couple of these sachets as Christmas presents. :-D

So far it hasn’t had any strange effect on me, but maybe I have to start knitting with it to get the Koigu Bug. I shall report back!

  1. I love the colours. And I agree with you about the lure (or lack of) of the Koigu!! :D

  2. Hmmm… Koigu Addict? I wonder who that could be… ;)

  3. Oh, that is so pretty, lovley to use for gift wrapping too. On my to do list :-)

  4. Koigu Addict!?

    I like it…

  5. Please report back, I’m very curious about what it is about the Koigu that seems to posses *some* people so! :-) I don’t have any either, and although I fondle it every now and then at the LYS, there seem to be nicer things available for the same or less money, so I never come away with any. But I’m convinced I must be missing something…so let me know.

    And yes, those colours are divine. So definitely a good choice for a first time foray into Koigu-land!
