Knit Project: The Strathcona


So here it is... The Strathcona by Jane Richmond. I must say... I am loving this pattern. It is so light and airy and the v- shape of it is so unique. It will be perfect for summer.

I'm not sure if I have enough yarn to make the full sized scarf but I just wanted to try it. So I chose to use a Mericash fingering weight yarn by Punta Yarns (80% merino/ 20%cashmere) in "baby pink." It will be a bit shorter but I think it will look great. And since it's such an open mesh it will probably give a little warmth without being too stifling. So it'll be perfect for our cool Vancouver Island breezes :)

So far it's knitting up pretty smoothly and SO soft!

So once again... Great pattern, Jane! ~.^

Knit Project: Next In Queue...

Went to Beehive Wool Shop today and scored these -->
VIP by Lana Gatto in Ecru. They are 80% Wool and 20% cashmere,  they are incredibly soft AND they were on clearance. Woot!

Plus I know exactly what to make with these...

The Devonshire Cream Cowl designed by Laura Aylor... and I can't wait to get started. Squee!
