Lizard Eyes - Cast On!


It is July, so time to start the next Camp Loopy project.  This month the lab choices are Zoology, Botony or Entomology.  The pattern and/or the yarn must reflect your chosen lab in the name.  I went with Lizard Eyes by Ursa Major Knits and picked Wollmeise Pure yarn.  I really like this yarn.  It feels wonderful to work with, although it is not tightly wound, so it can be a little splitty.  The plies are very fine, which probably explains why it feels so wonderful.  I selected Iris Sibirica (on the right) and Libelle (the two skeins on the left).  The Iris Sibirica is a plant, so I could double dip in the Botony lab if I wanted to, and according to Google Translate Libelle is German for Dragon-Fly.
Last month the lab choices were the Color Lab (two or more colors), the Material Lab (two or more materials, yarn and beads, for example), the Pattern Lab (two more patterns combined).  I went with the Color Lab.

Pattern:  Lizard Eyes by Ursa Major Knits
Yarn:  Rohrspatz & Wollmeise Pure
Needle:  US 2 (2.75 mm)
