It’s March already?!

Wow, how time flies when you’re having fun.  This new year has been a great one for getting UFO’s finished and for test knitting new yarns.

Although I don’t have photos of some of the test knits, my new favorite yarns are as follows:

Blue Sky Alpacas Melange

I haven’t had too much time to knit with this yarn until now.  The heathery look of the colors really comes through in the finished knit!

Tilli Tomas Beaded Plie

This lace edge was knit with Tilli Tomas Beaded Plie.  A silk yarn with beads throughout, hold up well to wear and looks great in stockinette too!
