look what i got...

in today's mail! this is lavold silky tweed in black with a gray fiber running through it and slubs of blue and rust and gray. did i say i love it? oh i do and hoped it would be this color you know? it was hard to tell from the swatch online but i was hoping for something to go with my new fryes and this is it! it's a lovely yarn too, silk, cotton merino, and viscose in just the right amounts. i thought it would make a great marilyns not so shrunken cardigan and it's the recommened yarn for that pattern. imagine that , i'm knitting from a pattern, that someone else wrote and i'm using the yarn they suggested. what next? i can't wait to start it but i'm making headway on my antique lace so i think i'll plug away at that for a bit more. i also have to print the pattern and my printer ink has run out so i'll order some and when it comes in the mail then i'll start this project! i won't be needing this sweater for a while, even tho it's appears that fall has arrived i don't think that's the last we've seen of summer yet! and i hope not i have a kayak to paddle before the snow flies! later love g
