Katherine Laarzen Knits: Yarn Arrival: Order - Abject Chaos - Order
http://laarzenknits.blogspot.com/2007/09/yarn-arrival-order-abject-chaos-order.html
Saturday, 8 September 2007. Yarn Arrival: Order - Abject Chaos - Order. My Posh Yarn for the Castle Couture wrap has arrived from Dee and it is gorgeous. It is slightly more intense in colour than the yarn that I have been using for swatching - that is not a complaint! It is just by way of explanation that my project yarn looks to have a vibracy that my swatch yarn did not have, so I cannot wait to cast it on and see how it knits up! 2 Ball winder and swift looking deceptively orderly.

Katherine Laarzen Knits: CCC Hat - A Snippet!
http://laarzenknits.blogspot.com/2007/06/ccc-hat-snippet.html
Tuesday, 5 June 2007. CCC Hat - A Snippet! I hereby solemnly promise to finish the accessory for this hat as quickly as possible so that I can take proper photos of the whole project and get everything over to Robynn. However, in the meantime here is a snippet of it being worn by a relative with complementary hair colour! I can honestly say that I enjoyed knitting this hat - I think that it was watching its shape grow as I worked and the sparkle of the wool when the sunlight caught it! ORK - Main Blog.

Katherine Laarzen Knits: CCC Wrap - Yarn Auditions
http://laarzenknits.blogspot.com/2007/08/ccc-wrap-yarn-auditions.html
Friday, 10 August 2007. CCC Wrap - Yarn Auditions. This is a long post. With pictures. After all, I have been knitting swatches for this wrap for the past six months, on and off, auditioning different yarns and stitch patterns! The swatches have ended up being tucked between other projects just because it has taken a long time to find the right yarn, stitch pattern and construction technique for my wrap. It's been an odd journey, getting this far:. 2) Decide that this is the project for my prize yarn.

Katherine Laarzen Knits: October 2007
http://laarzenknits.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 6 October 2007. Bead Auditions - Close Ups. I made this sample to test which beads work with my yarn. The wrap pattern is going to include areas of lace, complimented by some accent areas of beads - it won't be beaded all over in the same way as this swatch. Interestingly, I am struggling to select what beads to use, as they all give quite a different effect - I like more than one effect, for some different reasons. The majority answer seemed to be, 'Evening'. Picture 1 Right: Acrylic Beads.
