Even though I have far too many projects on the needles right now I started another one last weekend. Dance of the Dryads by Anne-Lise Maigaard. This is a kit from Earthfaire (I have a lot of Unique Sheep/Earthfaire kits), done in a lovely Unique Sheep colorway on a lovely fingering yarn - Leeana. The yarn is 51/49 cultivated silk/merino and is a joy to work with. It has the gorgeous sheen of silk, but more life than pure silk thanks to the wool. I did the cast on (425 stitches!) last Sunday and finished up the first Chart today. There were supposed to by nupps, but I replaced them with beads. I'm just not a big fan of nupps.
Some of the gang in The Unique Sheep forum wanted to do a knit along after finishing up our last MKAL, so we're doing this kit. It is my first Anne-Lise pattern, although I do have kits for several in my stash.
Pattern: Dance of the Dryads by Anne-Lise Maigaard
