Wrap me up in love....and cashmere.
Can I gush a moment? Okay, again? About Plucky yarn? Every single time I knit with her yarn I fall in love more and more....each base is uniquely beautiful and knits up like a dream. And the colorways...oh, the colorways...pure artistic genius. Now, I know Miss Sarah and I are girlfriends, but seriously, I would not say this unless I meant it...and boy do I EVAH! Go...quickly. Buy some.Now, let me share another project knit up with Plucky Yarn. Cashmere, to be exact. I bought this yarn several months back with the idea to make my sister, Sara, a cowl for Christmas.
Oh yummmmmmmmy. This was the softest thing I have ever knit up. My sister told me that she has never felt anything so soft and lovely against her skin. I believe it. I'm so glad I have another skein of this in my stash!Specs:
Yarn: The Plucky Knitter 2 ply Cashmere Laceweight in Basil Bliss
Needles: Size 8 16" KnitPicks Options Circulars (love these too!)
Pattern: Purl Cashmere Cowl from The Purl Bee blog
Mods: I cast on 110 sts on this...but you could increase or decrease this number based on how large you want the cowl opening to be.
Labels: Christmas knitting, Plucky love, Sarie

I love it! It's so gorgeous! I'm so going to knit one of those for me. :)
Awww, shucks. You're making me blush.... seriously, I love what you did with the yarn. So glad Sara loved it. Does this mean you are making one for you in the greys?
Oh, and I will be getting more cashmere in stock... yay! I want one for me!
beautiful -- both the work and the yarn itself. i think the gray will be even nicer... like a winter cloud that will just sit around your face.
i hope your buggernut is still enjoying her leapster and it keeps her busy enough to give you a few minutes to knit. have a great new year, amanda!
Ooh that looks absolutely yummy. I love that color.
Beautiful! I have that pattern saved in my queue at Ravelry - yours turned out lovely and now I'm itching to start one! And it will give me the perfect excuse to use one of Sarah's yarns!
Very cute and I love the color but I like anything green.
Oooooh. I want to make this!
That cowel is so great! I want one!
It is so beautiful, I can't wait to make one for myself.
Mmmm, so pretty. Her yarns are just the best, huh? Your knitting rocks too!!

oh, i SO want to make this! i love it!
