I received a skein of yarn for in exchange for a review.
When I have a particularly beautiful skein of yarn I always have a difficult time deciding upon a project. Sometimes I have one in mind, but then deem the project unworthy of the yarn.
After much debate (with myself), I decided to use this beautiful Apple Picking yarn that I received from Never Enough Thyme Yarn to knit a Swirl Hat.
I have to admit, the last hat that I tried to knit was a total and complete disaster. However, my knitting skills have evolved quite a bit since then, including a better understanding of the Magic Loop.
(Giveaway ends 9/4/14. US only.)
Also, if you knit or crochet, make sure to link up your projects at this week's Yarn Fanatic Party!
In other knitting news, I am just about finished with my Baby Sophisticate. I finished the sleeves and just need to work the collar. The sleeves were made using the Magic Loop method, and like I said above, I think I finally got it.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn. Too bad I'm in Canada! I can't wait to see your hat, though. It will be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors of the yarn, I bet the hat will look amazing
ReplyDeleteWhat eye popping yarn. The colors are amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh my!! Love this yarn! My favorite season is fall with all the gorgeous fall colors so of course I am in love with this yarn! Can't wait to see you knit it up into a hat!
ReplyDeleteFantastic colours in that yarn - reds and greens always look great together. I have the same problem with 'special' yarn :)
ReplyDeleteYour Sophisticate looks great. I love the color yarn you chose. The few that I have done have been in neutral tones. I love that Apple Picking yarn. I'm off to go enter to win now.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn is great! Love your baby sweater too, I love it when I am close to finishing a project.
ReplyDeleteApple Picking- good choice :-)

ReplyDeleteI love the Apple picking yarn, but really like the baby sophisticate - love the blue.
ReplyDeleteI always have the hardest time picking a project for a beautiful skein of yarn! I had some yarn over a year before I decided what pattern would be worthy! I totally understand where you are coming from

ReplyDeleteI'm with you - picking the "Just Perfect Project" is sometimes almost painful. I feel that I'll never have that same yarn again, and if the project isn't wonderful I'll be so disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI love their colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeleteI'm just beginning to crochet and this is such a beautiful blend of colors on the yarn. I love it :)

ReplyDeleteI'm loving the colors of this yarn and lamenting that the Internet doesn't allow one to squish the skein.
