This month's silk yarn arrived. I love the color; it is called morning glory!
And it includes the cutest sheep charms........
....which I immediately attached to clips for stitch markers/progress keepers!
I caked up the skein-it is called fingering weight
but it has the feel and drape of #5 crochet cotton;
it is a fine yarn.
But it knits right up nicely into a little shawlette.
The pattern alternates garter with mesh to work however you want to do it;
I am working these two sections in ever increasing row counts
on #3 needles.
A nice diversion, as always!
That didn't take too long to get that started!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty color.
ReplyDelete(You could always "borrow" those stitch markers for earrings. LOL)
Such cute markers! That is a pretty color. I can just imagine how soft it feels.
ReplyDeleteNice colors! The summer shawlette will be fun to wear.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and cute little sheep!!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty yarn, it should make a sweet scarf.
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me how the colors knit up. Im never sure HOW it will work. I love to see your start!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteSilk yarn is just so luxurious. It's nice to work with in the summer, when wool can be a bit warm.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice portable project, too!
ReplyDeleteOooh, beautiful yarn!
