Greys and Blues
Since we are experiencing yet another grey cold day in Chicago, I thought some of the bright colored flowers from my deck might help brighten the day.
I've been speeding right along on my first "little top" project -- the Peasant Top done in Porto Cervo. This top is coming together very fast. Here's the back:
I'm already most of the way done with the front left of the top as well, so I have aspirations of having a new top by the weekend!
While I was a little worried about using 100% cotton yarn, I am finding this yarn to be quite pleasant to work with. It is soft through my fingers and at the recommended gauge it makes up a soft, drapey fabric. I adore the color and shading -- which should come as no surprise to anyone who has seen my closet. My only concern so far is the recommended yarn yardage for the pattern. It looks like the pattern errs on the lean side...
I really like how the colors are coming out on that top!
Thank you for blue inspiration. My home is decorated with blues and I have a leaning at the moment towards blue yarn also (knitting patterned blue tank called Smooch in Rowan ASC). You are justifying my craving for more blue. Way to go!
I love the look of that yarn. The pattern may look a little lean, but the sweater look a little lean on the model too. ;)
Oh ,that's my favourite out of the new patterns ... not that I'd be able to wear it ! It will look gorgeous on you.Hope you get the summer weather to wear it - we're sweltering ,between the showers,here in the U.K.
I love colours at the blue end of the spectrum too ;-]
