Seeing Green . . .

I'm not one who pays a whole lot of attention to the color I am wearing or knitting. It all goes by mood, so imagine my surprise the other day when I was waiting for the car to get fixed and realize I had a green sweater on, a green purse with me, and two green knitting projects inside the purse. It was all just a little over kill of green for me! ☺


One of those green projects is my September Baker's Dozen Square:







Yarn : Stitch Nation's Alpaca Love
Color : Fern and Dusk
Content : 80% wool / 20% alpaca
Care : Hand wash and lay flat to dry
Needles : US 5 / 3.75mm
Pattern : Top of Page 96 in Beautiful Knitting Patterns by Gisela Klopper

So far : I am completely love the Alpaca Love yarn! The Member of the Month (MoM) for September wanted purple, green, or a combo of both and preferred a wool blend. Since I didn't have any of these in a worsted or bulky weight like she preferred I decided to try a new yarn. Love the way it feels and the way it is knitting up.


Next is my yoga socks. I have decided to give in, my feet often get cold and I have been doing more yoga and tai-chi. So I figured this would help. I am making my own pattern using a cabling stitch in Charted Knitting Designs : A Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G. Walker, called the Wrought Iron Panel I, which is on page 46.






Yarn : Serenity Garden Yarn
Color : Grass
Content : 100% Micro fiber
Care : Machine wash and dry
Needles : US 1 / 2.25mm
Pattern : Charted Knitting Designs : A Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G. Walker, called the Wrought Iron Panel I, which is on page 46.

So far : liking the yarn and the cable.
