as the weather begins to warm up a bit here in central texas, there is a definite feeling that spring is in the air. now, mind you, over these last few cold winter months i've become accustomed to daily wearing one of the many lacy baktus scarves i've knit for myself. so naturally, with the change of the season inevitably coming, i'm now feeling the need for a lighter, spring-weight version of the same. so the search for the perfect yarn was on. and found the perfect yarn, i did! in this lovely alyeska hand-dyed sock yarn from pagewood farm - a soft and squishy merino, with just a touch of cashmere. heavenly! and in my favorite waldorf, peachy-pink colorway...
i'm also close to finishing up the malabrigo mitts that i'm knitting to match the balaclava i just completed...
for my yarn update, here are a couple of new colorful additions (including the sock yarn i'm using for my new scarf above):
pagewood farm alyeska sock yarn, in rainbow sherbert...
ella rae lace merino, in color 102 (two photos of the same skein, because each side is so different and beautiful!)...
what are you working on this week?
