Today is the longest day of the year and the shortest night. It seemed a perfect reason to share this picture of wee's new blanket. He received this from his Nana for his birthday. It is so very soft and creamy being pure superwash wool.
And an update on the waistcoat.
I am a bit farther along than this as my new skeins arrived in the post today. I know I should purchase all of the skeins for a project up front, but being so indecisive I like to buy a skein to swatch with first and then if I love the outcome return for more.
This yarn is so heavenly and soft, a soothing knit as it indulges your fingers gliding thru so softly.
I am smitten by this yarn. The hint of lavender against the pale fawn base is so different and beautiful in the daylight.
...a simple and easy pattern and one I am enjoying every minute of.
Oh and this arrived today as well.
happy belated solstice! what a beautiful blanket for wee-- i would love to curl up with that. and your waistcoat-in-progress is wonderful. it is always a pleasure to knit with yummy yarn!

The waistcoat yarn looks lovely!
How are you liking Opinionated Knitter? I love EZ, but haven't been able to justify the price for that one yet.
