Last spring I was in a not so local yarn shop and struck gold in a hank of Pagewood Farm's Kissi yarn in the Prism colorway. It is a beautiful (and expensive) yarn which reminds me of stained glass. I have seen these beautiful soft blues with flecks of red and green and yellow in many European cathedrals. Anyway, I had to have it but at the time could only budget 1 skein. I will admit that this skein went immediately into the "Core Stash" level of my stashdom where it should have remained forever -- as an inspiration yarn.
However, late last week I ran across a beautiful cowl pattern being offered as a test knit. It was pictured in a beautiful shiny green yarn and it was titled Seaglass. My mind immediately went back to the hank of Kissi in the stash and its fate was sealed.
Monday I received the pattern and cast on and it is nearly half completed as of this morning.
So, without further ado, I give you today's WIP:
It has been a crazy fun knit and I will provide more details on it (and a Ravelry link) when it is completed...

ReplyDeleteI agree. Stained glass and sea glass both pop into my mind when I look at this yarn. I think it's a perfect match!
