january project ~ haven

New year's resolution: make something nice at least once a month (definition of nice: designed be someone else, pretty, wearable, and not messed up in any significant way).

January project; Haven by Kim Hargreaves, from the book Heartfelt.



Knitted in 3 skeins of soft Rowan Cocoon in Bilberry. This wool is gorgeously soft, with a slight mohair effect, and the bilberry shade is actually a bit darker than in the photo. The lace repeat is easy to memorise, and since this is done with 8mm needles is a super quick knit. This was a lot of fun, highly recommended!

I can't wait to see how your ship sweater knits up too...

Ooh, gorgeous! I'll have to add that scarf to my to-knit list. The yarn is beautiful, as well!

I like your definition of "nice." :)
