That is the question. Here are two yarns that I have held together both in knitting and weaving:

Dsc01676 I like the softer look and feel of the knitting.

Dsc01677 I like the speed at which a woven project can be completed and the way the colours fall.

Same yarns, different outcomes. Which do I like better? Maybe I’ll make one of each. I’m a fiber politician! Any opinions out there?

It’s spring break and Bryant and I are headed off to Galveston with his friend and his mom for the week. It will be a good way to recover from marathon wedding planning. Added to the stress of the week was a phone call we received yesterday morning letting us know that my daughter’s car had been stolen in Edmonton. Thanks to all of you for your wonderful words of encouragement this week.

I’ll try to post from Texas. Have a good weekend.

    They are both pretty but I like the woven one best. Funny how totally different they both look. Have a nice trip!

    Hmmm, I’m a knitter at heart, in blood, etc., but I love that weaved sample. It just brings out the lovely colors so well.

    Definitely the woven sample – there’s just something especially beautiful about the linear way the colors fall. Enjoy Galveston – I spent many a summer there growing up!

    I’m sorry to hear about your daughter’s car. I hope it is recovered soon! What a terrible feeling of invasion one has when something like that happens.

    I love the woven one. But two would be good.
    I married my husband after 4 months dating, 6 months engagement. Of course I was 31 and he was 25. Yes, a cradle robber!
