More on Fabulous Peru….

No, it’s not Friday- it is Sunday evening. I wish someone had told me three days ago what day it was…  So the post this week is late and due to the hour will be short and sweet.

I am presently still lost in Peruville. I finished my gorgeous burnt orange mittens with nary a problem. They are WARM and fabulous. So fabulous in fact that my daughter requested a pair of her own. (after I had already asked her if she wanted me to make her a pair and was told no…) So I have started a pair in bright red for her. Here is a funny picture of the first one.

I also (finally) cast on with the apple green Peru I bought back in August. I am making a free vest pattern off of knitty.com called Boogie. Designed by Maine’s own amazing Amy King back I don’t know when, it is a fabulous knit. Made more fabulous by this terrific yarn… It shows all the details of the cable to full advantage. Looks like it is going to take 6 balls for the largest size and with only the two side seams to finish, it is QUICK. Quick and gorgeous free pattern in a luxury washable yarn in amazing colors. What’s not to like?

Stay tuned for Beth’s February Lady Sweater knit with Lana Bamboo and a tidbit of my latest foray into Swans Island; I went off the deep end with an 8 ball purchase…
