Amazing

Cathy sent me an email last night with some pictures. She knit this for Sarah. I think that she should give it to me instead!

It is ridiculous beautiful!!

Pattern: Girasole by Jared Flood
Yarn: 23 balls of Filatura di Crosa Zara Plus
Needles: 6.5mm

Any day Mr. Canada Post should be bringing me a box from Blue Sky Alpacas with their new yarn.
Extra

55% baby alpaca / 45% fine merino
A beautiful blend of baby alpaca and fine merino wool. Extra is light, lofty, and a delight to work with. Each generously sized hank calls out for new knitting adventures.
details
  • Weight: 150 grams
  • Approx: 218 yards/199 meters
  • Needle Size: 7-9 US / 4.5-5.5 mm
  • Gauge: 4-5 sts per inch
care
Hand wash or dry clean. Wash in tepid water using a mild soap. Do not agitate or twist. Shape and dry flat on a towel. Store your little treasure neatly folded; after all, it may be a family heirloom.

The Cane Bay Wrap takes 2 skeins and the other patterns can be made with one skein. The patterns are on the website but are not in stock. They will be arriving with the yarn.

Here is my secret project (take 2) so far.

And an even more secret project. Mr. UPS brought in a parcel from England. Rowan sent yarn so that I can get a sample from Rowan Magazine #56 made up.

Pure evil tempting us with Rowan 56 and showing us just a hint of yarn. Shame on you, I'm gonna shake you down when I come into the store for more info. LOL!
