Yippee Tai Yai, no wait. Yippee Taiyo!
Here at the shop, we are in love with Taiyo: the worsted weight cotton/silk blend from wonderful N
oro. 
I am making a vest; Kendra made a Pure and Simple Swing Coat; Susan is 
making a baby sweater for the shop and sweaters for her granddaughters. Deb is also making a bag out of the new Noro Book Volume 27 which I will have a picture of soon.
The yarn is very very soft, the silk adds a touch of sheen to the cotton and the 15% wool adds elasticity to the blend. The skeins are FAT at 220 yards each and you all know how much I love the gorgeous self-striping Noro colorways.
The Silk Garden woobie
is coming along famously. In spite of the temptation to knit this single strip in perpetuity, I have decided to cast it off. To begin with, I had planned on 3 long strips sewn together. But after laying it on top of my own Silk Garden woobie, I have decided to do 3 shortish strips sewn together sideways. Still toying with the idea of switching the colors on the middle panel – bright blue as the raised color, grays as background. We will know soon…

I love your blanket and the video was amazing – gave me the courage to try the pattern! What I would like to know though, is what is the pattern for the blanket that is orange? That’s very pretty with the ruffle!

Could you please tell me what color the swing coat was knitted in? I would like to make it in the same color.
