I started a project with Incan Spice yarn that I bought in Lexington from the store that was going out of business a few years ago. Mitzi and I had transported several dogs and cats and we treated ourselves to a stop in the knitting store. I love this yarn! I love the colors. It is fingering weight and has a bit of silk in it as well as baby alpaca and extra fine merino. The yarn is a bit splitty and I am finding it too hard to work with in the pattern that I have chosen. So I am going to put the project up until I choose something else. If the project I am working on right now works out ok, I may do a shawl that is similar in shape. Where one begins with a triangular shawl but then switches to a longer and less deep shape. The pattern that I am using is Color Courage that I bought from the shop owner of Lakeside Yarn. I will just add my own stripes and patterns to the basic shape. I am going to put the project in a small basket on top of the bookcase in my bedroom.
