It feels good to be back in the swing of things. Our holiday break from school meant that not much was getting done in the way of yarn dyeing, blog posting, shop organizing, etc. Yesterday was the boys' first day back to school. I am not sure who was more excited about it, me or them. Either way, it's nice to have a little time to catch up on things.
As the holidays are over and all friends and family have received their gifts, I figured it was safe to share this project. It's the Birthday Cowl by pattern designer, Nova Seals (cool name, right?). Knit for Ms. Joy, my 4 year old's beloved Pre-K teacher. You know you've done well when the recipient cries upon opening their gift.
What a super fast, fun project. The yarn is Luna Grey Fiber Arts Bellona, a single-ply, worsted weight, merino wool and silk. This luxury yarn is light as air and arguably the softest yarn I have ever knit. While not ideal for items that will get lots of abuse (kids sweaters, mittens, etc.), it sure makes an amazing cowl!
I will be dyeing up more of this gorgeous yarn this week. Watch for it in the shop : )
That is a beautiful colour.
