mmmmm

Look at this yummy yarn:

It came today, for Cleo, for my oldest sister. I'm so pleased she decided to order this yarn. It's soft and the color is amazing. Kinda splitty, but I think I'll get used to it. And, for the first time in my personal swatching history, my gauge was spot-on the very first try!
I love elann.com. I got a good price on the yarn, and I received my order in two business days.
I'm excited to start it, but I think I will finish up Tiny Ribby Tank #2 first.

  • I love that plum color. I think it will fit that pattern very well :) Good luck.

  • What kind of needles are you using? I've been working on a baby sweater using this yarn and it's driving me nuts. Started with some old metal needles I have and the yarn kept slipping off. Switched to bamboo and am much happier now. Still, each ball of yarn has collasped into a web of impossible knots. Spent the better part of two days trying to get one knot out, ended up cutting it when I just couldn't take it any longer. Now I'm re-rolling each ball before I begin to avoid the headaches. Despite all the problems, I love the way the yarn looks and feels. It's got a beautiful drape, and that purple you bought is stunning. Still, next time I think I'll find another cotton yarn to knit with.

  • I'm using bamboo, too, and yeah, the splitting is making me crazy. It's so gorgeous, but dayum, it splits easily!!
    No problems with knots so far!
