Wow! More Pictures



I have no idea why these end up where they do on the page. That being said, this is my current project, Executive Funk, from Spun Magazine:
Designed by Marnie Maclean, these are ruffled cuffs to be worn under a blazer. Sorry, I couldn't get a very good picture. She used Koigu but the yarn I chose is a beautiful hand-dyed silk from a now closed store here.
It has really pretty autumn leave colors, and will go well with a brown velour blazer I have.
These cuffs knit up quickly if you are used to working in the round with sock yarn and small needles. (They start out with size 2's. I had to start with 1's with my yarn choice.)

What beautiful yarn! I love what you are making. I haven't seen this pattern before and can't wait to see your finished product. I hope you'll post a pic when it is done. What kind of yarn is it?

Oh I'm such a nerd, I just read what the yarn is. Really beautiful though.
