While they’re not always the easiest things to knit with, I do love novelty yarns.
Here’s the latest pic of my Squiggle and Fizz scarf made from this pattern.
I’m using Fizz shade 7223 Seaform and shade 9289 Cool Jazz of Squiggle. The scarf is a lot more green than I would usually wear but I think it will look fun with a black jacket.
I had a nice knitting mail hall today including this skein of Colinette’s SilkyChic in Jamboree which I bought on eBay.
I’ve always liked this colourway but the colours can vary in the shade. I prefer it like this with lots of that wonderful turquoise blue, but some dye lots have had lots of yellow/orange in them in them instead which I’m not keen on. I’ve now wound it into a center pull ball and can’t wait to knit a fab scarf from it. You can never have too many scarves! The yarn does feel very silky, it will be interesting to see how it holds up to continued wearing.
Also in the haul was a copy of Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton’s Noro Collection Book Number Two. I have ten balls of Silk Garden waiting to be turned into Klaralund. This also means that I can now join the Klaralund-Along!
And here is a pic of the first piece of the Mango Moon poncho with red, purple and pink accent yarns.
It’s slightly less vivid in real life, honest! 🙂
Oh, I’ve joined Secret Pal 3 and have already had an email from my Secret Pal! How exciting!
