Fields of dandelions..... dance in my head and onto my needles. I have been knitting away and my latest knit scarf design inspired by....that's right... dandelions..... is about 75% complete. It has an allover openwork feel, somewhat lacy I suppose.
I am knitting with a fingering weight yarn; the gorgeous Richness (of Martens) by Alisha Goes Around, in the colorway: Trick Goldfish (isn't that the perfect color name). Richness fingering weight is 400 yards of scrumptious 75% Fine Superwash Merino, 15% Cashmere, 10% Silk..... yummy....got to love it!
Alisha is a relative newbie to the hand-dyed yarn world. I had the extreme pleasure of meeting her at TNNA, her booth was decorated with hand-knit peacocks and famingos. She started her company in her kitchen and does everything herself. Her colors are rich and bold, I couldn't wait to start knitting with it myself. Alisha is bubbly and fun..... and maybe even a teensy weensy bit quirkey. Her hand-dyed yarns are pure genius. I love her motto; "Knit Happy, Knit Healthy, Knit Early, Knit Often".
