The project occupying my needles at the moment is one of the Fairy Tale shawls. I had planned the design a few months ago, but I just couldn’t find the right yarn until Roxanne of Zen Yarn Garden came up with this amazing new colour of Serenity Silk III. The colour is called woodsy and it really is EXACTLY what I had in mind. She somehow read my mind and came up with the perfect colour for this Fairy Tale. She also created mossy oak and olive tree to go with the theme, and both of those are really good matches for this fairy tale too.
This particular fairy tale (no spoilers just yet) is near and dear to my heart, and I can’t wait to share it with you. It will be the January shawl in the Fairy Tale KAL.
And for something completely different: I received a lovely package in the mail today. Here we have a skein of Sundara Silk Lace in Trip to India, two skeins of JulieSpins Silky 435 in Polar Night and a skein of Luscious Silk from Blue Moon Fiber Arts in Thraven. All this yarn came to me from a swap on Ravelry, where I ended up swapping some yarn that I didn’t really have a plan for, as well as some addy needles that I had in duplicate sizes for this collection of silky yarn from three different dyers. Swaps can be great.
