While they’re not always the easiest things to knit with, I do love novelty yarns.<\/p>\n

Here’s the latest pic of my Squiggle<\/a> and Fizz<\/a> scarf made from this<\/a> pattern.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I had a nice knitting mail hall today including this skein of Colinette’s<\/a> SilkyChic in Jamboree<\/a> which I bought on eBay.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Also in the haul was a copy of Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton’s<\/a> Noro Collection Book Number Two<\/a>. I have ten balls of Silk Garden waiting to be turned into Klaralund. This also means that I can now join the Klaralund-Along<\/a>!<\/p>\n

And here is a pic of the first piece of the Mango Moon<\/a> poncho with red, purple and pink accent yarns. <\/p>\n

It’s slightly less vivid in real life, honest! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Oh, I’ve joined Secret Pal 3 <\/a>and have already had an email from my Secret Pal! How exciting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
