Scrummy!!

This tumbled out of my stash this morning and landed right at my feet...clearly it's a sign I should knit it right away!
I can’t believe that it’s July already! This year is whizzing past and making me feel all together dizzy!! The start of a new month always makes me want to get organised and turn some of those pesky WIPs into FOs.
I thought the best way to do this was to tot up all the WIP *deep breath* here goes…
The Bold & Bulky Mini Cardi is waiting on buttons. While it’s wearable without it’s simply not the same – surely I can get this finished without too much drama?!
The Secret Lace project – This is seriously in the final knitty furlong, I want to get it cracked as soon as I can – there are some tricky making up instructions that I’m not looking forward to. I’d better learn my single fold bias from my bias binding and pronto!
I have been working on a couple of cheeky little designs for LK – after a change of heart about colours late at night I have been frantically working to get them finished. So, save a couple of rows of rib and weaving in some ends, these are nearly done!
Finally, the Falling in Love Socks – what can I say? One day.....!
All in all (FiLSocks aside!) That’s isn’t the huge WIP mountain I thought it would be, perhaps I should cast on with this lovely rediscovered yarn! Mmmhhh but what to make?

I agree, the colours are fantastic. What is it? I love knitting in shaded yarns, I’m always intrigued as to what colour is coming next. Very addictive, I have been known to go way past my bedtime in using such yarn!!

Ohh I can’t remember - That is the trouble with having a SABLE (Stash Aquisition Beyond Life Expectancy) it is impossible to know what is what!! I do know, however, that it is dreamy soft and the colours look good enough to eat!! I will look at the ball band/ tag tonight and let you know!

Patterned yarns are lush! There is something really magic about the colours popping out as you go! Yum!! I checked on the yarn tag and this beauty is Araucania Aysen and the colourway is shade 809 - too lush!
