Bay Area Yarn Crawl is coming up in March and I'm happy to say that with these two latest starts I have projects going or done with nearly all of the yarn I got last year. (The exception is my doodle cowl kit that I am still planning patterns for.)
This is a rayon/acrylic yarn that is going to be a summery top. I was intrigued by the mushroomy shade of brown and am hoping I end up liking how it looks on me. I may or may not get gauge here, the yarn is both slippery and not stretchy, so I am making the XL and will feel ok frogging it and starting over if it doesn't fit. For now it is a very satisfyingly mindless knit - just a tube in the round for many rows!
And this. I am so pleased with how this Shift is coming out, I took a chance on the colors and it is turning out just beautifully. This is another use for that same rayon/acrylic yarn (in a different color way that is beige with pops of pastels), a surprisingly rainbow second yarn that is similar in texture, and a solid color cotton. It has gone faster than I remembered my first one going, but now that I am in the section with long purl rows I'm losing speed. That's ok, though I am hoping to be able to wear this one in the Spring sometime so I'll keep trying to make progress here and there.
