The pretty yarn I received in the recent swap was calling out for a piece of the action.
This stuff is gorgeous with so many shades of green and blue which were not immediately obvious in the hank.
I had a lot of fun on Friday winding the ball so I could begin work on something other than foot wear!
Not one to be deterred by the lack of implements in the right length, I got to work on a straight needle so I could see how the pattern would look in this yarn. I had only been dreaming about the yarn/pattern combination for 2 weeks.

Saturday there was a shopping expedition to I collect the correct size needle in a circular of a certain length to contain the ever multiplying stitches - look it's working.

This is a fun and interesting adventure with the beautiful colours in this soft squishy yarn.

I love the way shawls grow at the beginning when working top down so you can see the pretty pattern take shape. Now I'm around halfway through the ball of yarn, with 300 stitches on each row, things have slowed considerably! The instructions are for using the entire hank so this will definitely be a warm layer for when winter visits here again.
Hope your week is full of fun in your favourite colours.

Looking beautiful, love the colour.
A real delight the yarn is stunning.
Wow. That colour is just stunning. You'd never know how variegated it was from looking at that ball of yarn. Lovely!
300 stitches ? That makes me tired just thinking about it.
I love that yarn - the colour once you start knitting up is divine.
Welcome to my world! 300 is only 120 stitches less than Boxy! I guess your beautiful pattern makes up for it. It looks stunning.
very pretty yarn and the colour pattern is great.
keep those needles clicking
