Wave
Posted by Lanea on Wednesday, September 17th, 2008
Rosi put most of this gorgeous silk wool yarn on the swap table at the Knitter’s Review retreat last year, and I snapped it up. Now that the weather is starting to cool a bit and this year’s retreat is approaching, I figured it was time to get to work on it. I swatched and swatched one watery lace pattern after another, and finally settled on good old feather and fan. I wove in all the the ends last night while hanging out with friends, and immediately put it on. It’s a wonder I took it off again.
I may owe my pal Rosi a really nice gift. I think I even have enough of the yarn to do this again. Joy!

BTW, your company at KR Retreat is a gift all by itself.
