Hello I purchased a kit for your Stained glass hat
at the Vermont Sheep and Wool festival. I finally knit
it up and wanted to share a picture of the final product
with you along with a picture of one of my Angora goats.
I left contact info with the vendor at your booth in
the case that you are interested in mohair fiber. I
have colored Angoras but most of my fleeces are a pewter/silver
hue which can be overdyed. I have several yearling fleeces
available for sale and charge $16 a pound. I love your
yarn and patterns and really enjoyed making the hat.
Look forward to knitting another Green Mountain Spinnery
project soon.

I just wanted to pass along a photo of my completed
project to you. Thank you for such a fun and beautiful
pattern. It only took me a little over a day to whip
up!

My mother-in-law, Ruth Newman, made this sweater for
her granddaughter, Molly, from yarn she purchased from
you. It is so luxurious, and where Molly is headed this
fall (Boston), she will need a warm sweater far more than
she has needed them here in California. My MIL is an amazing
knitter, and the combination of great knitter + divine
yarn = lucky Molly!

This Ropes
& Ladders pattern uses Cotton
Comfort Peony instead of the suggested 2-ply
Worsted Weight yarn or Mountain Mohair. She simply knit
a swatch, checked the gauge and improvised! "I liked
the weight of the Cotton Comfort for this project."
Lovely! |

6 years ago at a Stitches Market in Minneapolis, I purchased
some Green Mountain Spinnery rag wool (Variegated
Green Mountain Green) to make a sweater for myself.
I held on to the yarn until fall 06 when the Bianca's
pattern appeared in an Interweave Knits magazine. I finally
found just the right pattern for the yarn. I have a picture
I would be happy to share with you. This was THE most
wonderful yarn I have ever used and the colors just seemed
to fall in place as I knit. I get loads of compliments
every time I wear the sweater and I tell everyone - the
yarn is from Green Mountain Spinnery.

We visited your booth at the Maryland Sheep and Wool
Festival, and my friend was bragging to your folks there
on my behalf. I had knit the Stained Glass
pullover from your wonderful design and Mountain
Mohair, and entered it into the Indiana State
Fair (2006). It won the blue ribbon in the "two or
more colors" class. The judge complimented the color
selections - I had to laugh as it was the colorway from
the book. She also really liked the neckline treatment
(again, straight from the book). I have attached a photo
of the sweater with its ribbon, which you may use on your
website if you wish (I don't think it's the best photo,
I'm not much of a photographer).
I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful yarns,
and designs!
