We had four glorious spring days leading up and through last weekend which was such a delight, but the week has begun with damp weather and gray skies. I know, this type of changing weather is what spring is all about, right? Spring showers bring May flowers, etc., and I hear that the coming weekend (a holiday one) is meant to be beautiful again so I'm not really complaining.
It's just that I've been seriously bitten by spring fever and have flower and leaf motifs buzzing in my mind all the time. That was definitely helped along when I got my May TFA Year in Colour Club package last week.
The original pattern that accompanied the skein is lovely, but it's not really speaking to me right now. Instead, this fingering weight yarn is telling me something else ... it wants to be knit up into a shawlette, and I think I have to listen. I've been playing around with stitches and believe I've landed on something that will work. Yeah, just call me the yarn whisperer.
Very pretty! I can't wait to see what you are up to.
ReplyDeleteOoh- I like that color. It would probably make a great shawlette!
ReplyDeleteThat color is beautiful! Do you feel like for how much you paid that the yarn club that it is living up to your expectations?
ReplyDeletethat is such gorgeous yarn, and would make an amazing shawlette!!! have a knitty tuesday xxx

Isn't it just beautiful! Yours has more purple than mine! Mine I believe will become socks! This color must have been inspired by flower petals ;-) I look forward to seeing your shawlette!
ReplyDeleteI just opened my TFA package tonight. I just picked it up from the post office as it was delivered while I was away. I love the colour, too, but this time I think I might try the pattern cowl. I have a sweet spot for cowls!
ReplyDeleteYarn Whisperer, I love it! It is so true though, the yarn does speak to us. Just be careful who you let know you talk with your yarn ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the purple hues! How fun to receive in the mail.
ReplyDeleteWow, my color preference runs along this very line of your Thrillllls.
ReplyDeleteIt makes my heart sing, how 'bout you.
