Saturday Afternoon

I am so focused right now on mohair yarns and how beautifully they drape. I love this poncho....the color is just simply stunning and I love the cowl neck and front diagonal detailing! You can peek at it here on Etsy in the shop Renavere....this artist creates amazing pieces that are hand knit in Lithuania. Happy Knitting...xo

 

The Perfect Yarn Find

I am in love with the yarn I grabbed this afternoon! I was in search of a perfect mohair blend in a deep neutral. I found a great 60% kid mohair/40% silk blend at the yarn store. I went with Shibui/Silk Cloud in a warm, lustrous flaxen color. It's so pretty and has such an amazing sheen. I cannot wait to start the Alice Tang poncho that I posted over the weekend. At about 650 yards, this wrap/poncho will be a great project to work on all week. Happy Knitting! xo

New Project

I've been searching forever for the perfect poncho/wrap project and I'm so excited to have found one today on Ravelry and which was featured in Knit Wear Spring 2012. The pattern I'm going with is Alice Tang's Soft Kid Wrap. This whisper light poncho looks ideal for year round....I cannot wait to get started. Thinking of a mink brown yarn. So cute with jeans and boots. This is truly just stunning...Hooray!
