Today appears to be a holiday, so here's some knits in progress and one lone finished item.


I absolutely love this yarn. [livejournal.com profile] mauricia gifted it to me and I can't thank her enough. The colors and fiber content work together to make an absolutely gorgeous yarn that is a delight to knit with.


The pattern is also very fun. Winning combination!
Pattern: RPM by Aija Goto
Yarn: Applelaine Apple Pie in Blue Bayou


The mossy scarf has been put on hold until my fingers no longer act like velcro with the yarn. Mmm, love that texture though.


This project has been haunting me, but it is finally proceeding, although different than initial conception.

And the lone finished item...

Pattern: Bathing Beauties by Evelyn Clark
Yarn: Hemp for Knitting allhemp6 in Dusty Rose

It is some Fleece Artist in a merino sockweight. I'm not certain what the colorway is, as Fleece Artist never labels their colors, but I think it is similar to one of their colorways called "Sea Storm".

Hard to guess what my favorite colors are, eh? :D

Whoa, the Apple Laine looks fantastic with the RPM pattern!

I'll have to pick some up for myself. :D And hey, since it's local, let me know if you ever want more. I'll hook you up. :)

Love your knits. Isn't that Apple Laine great stuff? It's one of my favorites. I haven't considered this colorway yet... it looks lovely with the pattern you chose. Stay warm!
