Orange you blue?

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

It’s starting to warm up here in Vancouver and that scratchy, heavy Shetland wool fair isle is sort of the last thing I want to knit right now. I’m itching for some lace. Being without a Zephyr project or shawl project right now makes me antsy. Gah, my hands want lace.

Orangina in Rowan 4-ply cotton “Nightsky”

So here is my respite. Orangina. Stephanie Japel’s perfect solution for easy peasy and pretty lace. It’s lovely mindless knitting in quite a nice cotton. Rowan 4-ply Cotton doesn’t split but it does remind me a bit of thin dishcloth cotton. Whatever, my hands are happy now.
