Dollar And A Half
I started the beautiful Dollar and a Half Cardigan from the latest Interweave. Veronik Avery really does a wonderful job with the pattern and choice of yarn!
I know that tons of people have been looking for the Reynolds Soft Linen, and guess what people, I found tons of it! Call up Black Sheep Knitting in Needham, MA. Hurry (yes they do ship)! They have beautiful summery colors, which is why I have this gorgeous pale blue. For only $6.00 a ball, how can you go wrong?! The yarn is much softer on the hands than a 100% linen yarn, and it has great drape and stitch definition. They have a swatch in the store... a before and after washing swatch, and man, I can't wait to wash this sucker!

I totally want to make this sweater! Thanks for the heads up - it's looking good!
I saw this and wanted to make it, too - yours is coming out wonderfully and that blue is beautiful! Hmmm...I just may hit Black Sheep on the way home...
I have been eyeing that sweater ever since the mag came out. Yours is looking awesome. And thanks for the review of the yarn. I was curious on what it was like.
Your sweater looks great--I can't wait to see the finished product. And that yarn sounds absolutely scrummy!
I love the color you chose!
That color is going to look so good on you, I cant wait to see the results.
What a great color!! I may have to add this cardi to my knit list...
That sounds like a great yarn! Can you bring it tomorrow? I want to touch (I'll wash my hands first).
Thank you for the soft linen link. Im going to check it out. Im currently knitting with linen and although I have been assured it will soften when washed, it is a bit, well sticky and icky.
Dani, the second installment of sock yarn is amazing!! Fresh is so very that... I love it!!
So...how is it coming along? :D
