I just cast on for Lyra. I have been wanting to knit this for over two years. I’m using cashmere silk laceweight from the Midnight Sheep, in Verdigris, which was custom dyed for me. Does it look familiar? That’s because I was using it to knit Utlinde’s amazing Alhambratuch pattern. I am sorry to say [...]

This is some lovely [...]

I’m pleased to announce that the stitch markers I won from Lindsay at Prolonged Sunlight arrived today. They were beautifully packaged with tissue paper and ribbon that set off the colours.

Last season, I won a prize. A skein of silk yarn from Lost City Knits (a division (I guess) of Clear Creek Lavender). Our very own LostCityDenise had donated a 500 yd skein of Lost City Silk, in the Silver Bells colorway. This weekend, my mailbox yielded a little package from Oklahoma. My lovely silk [...]
