Someday I really will finish a project...
...but for now, I've started on another. This one is a shop sample so I have a deadline. This means I really will finish! Yes indeedy.
I am really enjoying this yarn. It is Classic Elite Premier - 50% cotton, 50% Tencel. The stitches really have nice definition and the smoothness of the Tencel relieves some of the fatigue I usually get in my hands when knitting with cotton. I don't know how it will wear (and the world may never know for this garment, being a sample and all). Anyone have any experience with this yarn?
Today is a lovely day in Seattle - I can't bear to be indoors! Hopefully it will hold as tomorrow we are tackling the giant "biggest-baddest-most-dangerous-slip-n-slide west of the Mississip" project.

Oooh, it's very pretty.
I managed to ride in today in honor of the good weather. I couldn't stand missing our one perfect day!
I suppose you'll be too tired for knit night after tackling the yard (and I'm not sure if I can make it myself)--which leads me to think we should get together another time soon.
Hi Wendee! You Knitters Treat Exchange Pal is looking forward to spoiling you. This sweater you're knitting looks terrific. :-)
I do like that yarn. Cotton-y blends just show off st st so well.
i used premiere to make a ms. marigold. i have to say--i didn't like it. it fuzzed up a lot just while knitting and i'm guessing it won't wear well at all. i guess rather than know because i never actually wear the vest.
i know that other people have used the yarn and liked it. maybe i just got a bad batch.
