Just a Little Twisted
With the sunshine that came to Chicago this weekend I had the opportunity to demonstrate what the Lorna's Laces Lion and Lamb in Pewter really looks like.
I'm just past the half-way point now, and have about 36" of scarf. So two skeins will get me a nice 6' scarf -- perfect for me. Of course, with as warm as it's been lately, I won't be wearing it until fall. Not that I'm complaining mind you. With that blizzardy weather going on in Colorado, I know better than to complain about the wonderful 70 degree weather we're having here right now. No sirree, Bob, I'll be completely content if I don't get to wear this scarf until fall rolls around.
The sunshine also makes it easy to see the gleam that comes off this yarn when you can see it in person. The silk really gives it an inner and outer radiance. I think it's the pink undertones that really give the color it's character.
Blog of the Day
By random chance, today's blog link also comes from British Columbia. Uli just finished a lovely sheepy sweater for her daughter (is it wrong for me to want a sweater with sheepies around the yoke?) and is doing her own little battle with Phil'Eponge. Nice to know that someone else out there is waging a little battle with this fun spongy stuff along with me!
Hi ! Lion and Lamb is one of my most favourite yarn. It is perfect for scarf knitting. You've made a good choice in colour, Pewter is very beautiful !
Lion and Lamb is such a wonderful yarn--both the way it feels as you knit it up and the faint glimmer in the yarn. That's looking fantastic. :)
oh my gosh what a color. looks fantastic. haven't seen anything like that before.
i am loving that colour - divine. also counting my blessings that lion and lamb is not readily available in australia...although the exchange rate is rather good at the moment
The pewter looks lovely. It will realy catch the autumn sunshine when you finally get to wear it.
Pretty. Speaking of silk yarns, did you iron your Chai?

Not at all! Sheep are cool. One of my favorite pairs of socks has sheep on it. :)
Oh, how nice for the mention in your blog. I come visity yours regularly but am a bad, bad commenter.... I've thought about my own sheepie sweater. :-) Phil Eponge....... yes, it's a bit of a struggle. I meant to ask you what you plan on seaming the Phil Eponge with?
That pewter Lion and Lamb is beautiful. I've never seen it in person, but from your photograph it reminds me somewhat of Noro's Cash Iroha. Would you say that they are similar yarns?
I love that color!!
Looks gorgeous, especially in the sunshine. I've been told that any Lorna's is good Lorna's. I'm also an Aussie- I can't fondle/oggle Lornas here (this just adds to the attraction and desirability!) but am currently awaiting for a little package of Lorna's Shepherd Sock to land on my doorstep from Ebay..
