I've got a couple new projects on the needles. Looking at them today I couldn't help but notice that they are all lovely, cheerful and springy in their colours. First up, I'm knitting yet another dipped yoke pullover. Like my Dipped Infinity and my Dark and Stormy, this time the yoke is being worked in my favorite shade of Kureyon (#156) and is in reverse stockinette stitch. Simple texture.
Yesterday I became obsessed with the idea of knitting myself a Whispy cardigan in my Mulberry Silk yarn. I've already finished on sleeve and am working my way across the back. It's so shiny and pretty! I swatched in leftover purple silk from when I knit my mom her Mother of the Bride shawl. Next to the Tidal sleeve it really looks like spring flowers to me!
Then this morning I got an e-mail from a good friend announcing that she is expecting a baby girl! We already knew that they were having a baby, but now that I know that it's a girl I have the perfect first knit for her. The Maile cardigan, simple and sweet and oh so snuggly knit up in Purple Label Cashmere!
I've been wanting to knit something in Lilac for a while now, it's been jumping off the shelves at me. This is the perfect little project.
oh my goodness...the whispy cardigan in silk...I think I just passed out from scrumptious imaginings.
ReplyDeleteExcellent baby cardigan choice. I plan to make Maile in the January club colour for one of the two babies that friends and family are expecting this fall. I think it will be stunning.
ReplyDeleteooh, excellent projects and yarn choices!! A silky wispy is going to be soooo scrumptious, and that lilac is stunning for a baby girl cardi.
ReplyDeleteThat mulberry silk is just amazing--certainly going to shine like a star compared to the pics of that Wispy cardigan on Ravelry in that drab grey/brown color. Of course, that lilac is pretty stunning, too!
