\nI’m happy with it, and Emily professes to like it. In fact, she wanted to hug it.

\nThere’s a little room in it too, in case she ever actually gains any weight, and grows around instead of up!
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Deep Rib Sweater (Style 17) from Patons Australia book No. 1260 “Inca and Jet”<\/a>
\nYarn: Patons Australia Jet<\/a>, a 70% Wool, 30% Alpaca Blend in Shade 12, a shade that is now sadly discontinued.
\nNeedles: Knitpicks Nickel Plated Options, 4mm and 5mm.
\nI love this yarn! I made a scarf for a friend in it quite some time back, but this is the first time I’ve used it in a garment. It’s a nice lofty yarn, knit at 16.5sts – 10cm (4″), and it knits up super quickly. I’m so impressed with it that I’m going to get some more and knit a vest for David.
\nI gave the whole thing a bath in some “Soak” before I seamed it, and I’m pretty impressed with the “Soak” too! I used a sample pack of “Flora”, and it smelt heavenly, and the knitting is lovely and even softer now.
\nSomething gorgeous arrived in today’s mail, and I’m itching to cast on.

\nIt’s the kit for the “Magic Carpet Ride”<\/a> Scarf from The Woolen Rabbit. Isn’t it gorgeous? I’m not usually much into oranges or browns, but this colourway is called “Moroccan Spice”, and it’s beautiful. I can highly recommend Kim’s service, the kit arrived in just over two weeks from the USA, and shipping was exceptionally reasonable.
\nI’m dying to cast on, but I have to be strong, and wait at least until I get some beads. I’m really trying to wait until I finish something else I started last week.

\nAn Aran Scarf in Sublime Yarns “Cashmere Merino Silk Aran”. This stuff is gorgeous, too. Perfect for a scarf, not a hint of scratchiness at all, and the perfect colour to go with my new red winter coat!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
