What have you made with Malabrigo?

I took advantage of the sale at Chez Casuelle last month and bought a [I]healthy[/I] amount of the mmmmmmm. Now what? LOL

What have you made with it? What would you like to make? I’m looking for some ideas :happydance: I have a nice amount in the worsted weight and a few hanks of the super bulky.

Thanks!

I have made a couple of scrunchable scarves and one very nice sweater. I want to make another sweater soon.

I have made myself :drool:. Heh.
As far as FOs–I made a long scrunchable scarf and a set of Fetching out of two skeins. And I made my mom a Coronet hat (which my dad promptly felted :doh:) with another. I still have the leftovers from that ball and I pet it occasionally.

I’d LOVE to make a cushy winter sweater out of Malabrigo someday. And find a reason to purchase and use their new laceweight.

I think it’d make a great set of legwarmers or armwarmers if you’re into that sort of thing, same with a vest. Or an earflap hat!

I made a Clapotis with it. MMMMmmmm is just so soft that when I got it, I just wanted to wrap myself in it…so I made something I could literally wrap myself in…lol

I made Wicked from Zephyr Style.

Cicky -

WHy don’t you use it to make a clapotis and join our knitalong. It is a really fun pattern to knit. I started one this week.

I bought some on sale and plan to make a WICKED sweater.

2 scrunchables, one almost-finished pair of fingerless mitts, Wicked sweater, the hooded scarf/bonnet from Knit 2 Together, and a hat. I have some in my stash (some? a LOT, really) that is designated for other projects, mostly sweaters.

Flared rib scarf (below) and I have three hanks set aside for some leaves of whimsy projects :inlove:

10

I made a hat last week and I’m making another one with the rest of that skein, and I have a fantasy of making a big sweater for next winter with a bunch of different colors…

11

I made clapotis, took less than 4 hanks, worsted weight…

12

Thus far I’ve knit fingerless gloves, a hat and 1 1/2 scarves.
I would LOVE to have a cardi knit with Mmmmmmmm, but it just doesn’t get that cold here, so I will stick with accessories, but oh, isn’t it yummy?! I read a review that I received in my email today about a yarn that is coming out that has the characteristics of Mmmmmmm with cashmere, too…sounds yummilicious, too:heart:

13

Thanks for all the ideas, everyone!

To those who’ve made a sweater with it, does it grow a lot? I think I remember reading on one of the KALs that the mmmmmm [I]grew[/I] after a while. But I’ve had my eye on Wicked for a WHILE!

Rebecca, I love those gloves! I can see me now, knitting gloves (and scarves) in Mid May! HAHAH! My husband would commit me for sure.

Keep the ideas and pics coming!

Hey Vicky, I just found a Mmmmmmm online source here in the EU. I ordered 4 skeins (at € 8.50 each) of a gorgeous blue that I want to knit a clapotis with. I can’t wait till my package arrives!!

15

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=2]I made extra-long lace-up fingerless gloves from alterknits. for my aunt, who declines to take a picture, but they looked like this only longer and bluer,[/SIZE] with burgundy ribbons.
I’m definitely making another pair, but for now I only have some lace I want to make a cardigan with.

Rebecca, those gloves are great!

Jeannette, do you mind sharing your EU source? Us expats have to stick together :wink:

I’m using some burgandy mmmmmalabrigo for Paton’s Urban Aran, and it’s working up beautifully.

18

I’ve made about 5 different scarves with MMMMMMMM. I love how soft it is and how it feels. Great for around one’s neck.:lol:

19

I made a skirt but I really don’t like it so I’m going to frog it and do something else with my pretties.

:muah::hug:
