Fiber Lust
I am in serious fiber lust. I started a simple project to keep in my Namaste bag today. The pattern, called Pullover with Overlap Sleeves, is by Vadis Designs and it uses Tilli Thomas Plie and Beaded Plie. These yarns are 100% plied silk in matching colorways. For this project I am using Jade, although all the colors are so gorgeous it was hard to choose. The yarn is an absolute dream to knit with, seldom have I felt a fiber so wonderful. The color is slightly variegated, which I think is going to look just beautiful in this simple pullover. The only drawback so far (besides the price) is the fact that the color seems to bleed slightly on to my hands while I am knitting, and I don't have especially damp hands.
