Marble – New Colors [now in stock]

One of the most popular yarns of 2007 was a machine-washable DK weight yarn called Marble, from S.R. Kertzer.  I expect that popularity will continue into 2008.  Some of the new colors are brown-based and will make wonderful masculine garments.  It helps too, that there is good yardage (240 yards) and a good price ($4.99).  Here’s a preview of the new colors:

Recommended patterns to use with Marble: 

We’re also using one strand of Marble with one strand of Encore on size 11, to do a rectangle garter stitch prayer shawl for my pastor’s wife.  The shawl is making the rounds from knitter to knitter with a few stitches done by non-knitters too.

Hmmm, don’t know if I’ll keep them or not, but just got progress bars installed that correspond to my projects listed in Ravelry.com . . . . have any of you bloggers done this too and what do you think?  Lea-Ann

 ETA (which I’ve always thought meant estimated time of arrival, but now know it means: “Edited To Add”): cool, changed the color of the progress bars to a light blue and added pictures from my flickr account!
