Herby Green
Behold the most beautiful green lace weight on the planet. Well, my section of the planet. Too bad you can't tell from this picture how beautiful it is, because it is really greener than shown.
Not only does the colour glow in this skein, it is deliciously soft and fine. Ranging from the deep glossy green of rhododendron leaves through to the soft green of oregano, with some medium teal for interest, the yarn has a wonderfully herby look. Gorgeous. Breathtaking. And under no circumstances will something for someone else be knitted out of this jaw-droppingly scrumptious confection. It’s Souffle Lace Weight from Wool Candy in Fresh Herbs. 70% baby alpaca, 20% silk, and 10% cashmere. 3.5 oz, 1300 yards of knitterly fun. Friendly and helpful customer service, and speedy shipping. I went back for more. Not to be bossy or anything, but go get you some. Now.
It’s been just over a week since the Entangled Stitches gloves were picked up again in earnest. The overwhelming lust for this project has worn off at just about the right time. That’s probably got to do with the frenzy with which they were attacked. The fingers will get started in about 10 more rows, so it won’t be long before they are finished. A mistake has been made somewhere and the side zig-zag’s have not arrived at the correct landing point from above. Oh well. They’re staying like that. Having even the remotest interest in these gloves last night could have seen at least 2 of the fingers done. But no. I am procrastinating. Daydreaming about that lovely yarn seen above. Sigh. Tonight? Tonight, 2 fingers.
