this is actually a better representation of the actualy color. yesterday's picture was poorly lit. so far i am in love with the chevron pattern and the yarn. i gotta be careful not to split it since it's made of three plies but the knitted fabric is dreamy. i am also doing a slip stitch selvedge edge for the first time and it's turning out so great. i think that seaming this puppy will be a snap. i just hope it fits. i am also trying to finish vintage velvet before i go home this weekend. i really doubt it's gonna happen, but one can dream.
don't look at all the ends, please. it's gonna be so much prettier when it's done. and look what i got in the mail today:
this is tuja from dale 116. i saw it one a blog (can't remember which) and knew i had to make it. blogs are so bad. they give you knit envy and then you start buying more yarn than you know what to do with. it's a vicious cycle but i'm not really complaining. i have some araucania nature wool that i think i will set aside for tuja. ooh-here is today's yarn porn, courtesy of elann.
