Poet-ic Decisions
What an AMAZING Poet Josiane has knit in Islington fingering, Blighty! From Laine Magazine, Issue 6 this has been on my radar for months.
I’d been picturing this in Baskerville or Ramble, wooly like the original sample. Above are three shades in Baskerville Exmoor Blueface, British Gotland and Silk I was considering.
For the Ramble, my small-batch British-reared Romney / Shetland, I was hoping for a truly rustic feel to the lace, even more woolly than Laine’s sample.
But now after seeing Josiane’s amazing version in Isington I am torn. Do I go rustic, or super elegant? Can you imagine it in the three hues I’ve shown with hers above – Siren Call, Kelp or Nori? All three are restocked in the shop, which doesn’t help! Such a tough choice.
