mellow
I do have other knitting to show, but before I get to it, I just wanted to prove my point. Yellow. Again. It’s everywhere! I’m having a hard time telling if yellow things are trendy right now, or if it’s just me noticing it everywhere… since apparently, I’m obsessed.
This lovely skein is Malabrigo Sock in “Turner.” I’ve been eyeing this color for a long time, because I love how weird it is! It’s yellow-but-not, and I’ve seen projects where it works up into a really interesting fabric… almost like metal patina. I haven’t been able to get this yarn OR the project I had in mind for it out of my head, so I finally just caved in and bought it.
I’m using it to make the Milkweed Shawl from Laura Chau. I started it this weekend, and I just love the way the Malabrigo Sock feels in garter stitch. It’s springy and soft. I imagine I’ll be showing it as a FO here before too long!

That is just gorgeous right there!! Love those combinations!
And I think you are obsessed ;o)
Araucania Patagonia’s Nature cotton has a very similiar variegated with mustard, ashy black, and deep mustardy like. I think it is 235. I had 2 skeins of it, couldn’t figure out what to do and then on a lark decided to knit Debbie Bliss’ lacy scarf that was in her inaugural magazine issue. The scarf was fabulous because the colors really popped in that pattern. It was long about 43″ I double wound it around my neck with a black v-neck top (can you tell I loved that scarf?) I wore it to a breakfast with friends (showoff!), and my girl Nicole went home with it…I need to make another.
