yarn and soul

Monday, September 21, 2015

Has your weather been perfect like it has been here? Crisp cool mornings and clear blue skies are making for the best days around here. Makes me all giddy for fall.

My mind is racing with thoughts of new projects.  I'm looking for a sweater pattern as I approach the end of the yoga shawl and have a lot of little projects in mind.  (Toast will always be on my needles.)
I came across this lovely Yarn and Soul yarn.  Have you seen it?  Wow.  It is really yummy.  100% Superfine Alpaca.  The colors are incredibly beautiful.  And did you know that 1 cute Alpaca = 4-5 sweaters as opposed to 4 cashmere goats = 1 sweater!  Loved that little bit of information I never knew until now.  I'm thinking of making a hat.  Heck, with that generous 400 yards in one hank I can make two!  Off to Ravelry to find a pattern.  And then I'm going to make this cake.

Happy Monday, Friends!

    That blue will make a beautiful hat! I love that it's hat-making season again since it will be hat-wearing season soon! :)

    Can't wait to see what you make - we got this yarn in a few months ago at the LYS where I work and I've been wanting to knit with it. So much knitting - so little time!

    Oh boy, that yarn is so beautiful. I cannot wait to see what scrumptious hat (or two) it becomes. The weather around here has been spectacular. I cozy up with a cowl/shawl in the morning and peel it of through the bright, sunny day. It is weather made for layering knits and I love it. All too soon the gloom of winter will be upon me and my poor knits will be buried beneath big poofy coats.

    There's nothing better than starting a new knitting project! And what a beautiful color yarn - I've just knitted a sweater in a very similar color.
