Having finished up the body of my Sally Shawl I needed another easy project for my work bag. Having also finished up my Ramea I decided I wanted to do another top and I grabbed the yarn that I had ordered for the Trillium Lake pattern from The Fibre Co. The yarn is Road to China Light in the color Tanzanite. The yarn is 65% alpaca, 15% silk, 10% camel, 10 % cashmere and 100% awesome. Sometimes I just find myself petting it instead of knitting. I worked up a swatch and got gauge, so I caked up all the skeins and cast on. I got it to the easy knitting point before I needed to take it into work.
Once I got to the part where I needed to put the sleeve stitches on holders I worked that part at home, so that I could just enjoy the endless rounds of this super soft yarn that feels so good to work with.
I really do enjoy knitting in the round. Now that it is the weekend, I will spend some time reading and knitting, and maybe have to figure out another easy project to put in my work bag.
