I finally got my box from KnitPicks, and I am in love with this yarn. It is alpaca and silk, and like I said, I am going to make a Clapotis. The color is Cumulus, and it is the perfect combination of neutral grays and beige.
I also am playing with my new options needles... and all I can say is "ahhhh". The cable bends as I please (as opposed to my bamboo needles), and the join is smooth, smooth, smooth. No snagging here. And the sharp tips make my lace section of the February Lady Sweater a breeze.

I also had to get a little fabric for my girl before it all sold out again: This is from Far, Far Away by Heather Ross. If you are not familiar with her fabric be prepared to spend some money: they are all so perfect! I am in love with this princess and the pea fabric; it is a beautiful Japanese cotton, and I think I may even just frame a repeat for the room: it's too cute!






Hello,
I come your way via The Wishstudio. What a cozy space you have set up here - and that yarn is absolutely gorgeous! I always wish I learned how to knit, but I find it frustrating. I do, however, crochet and I love making scarves, bags, and blankets.
Have a beautiful Monday!
well-wishes,
me
