Just joined!

I'm so glad there's a KAL for this pattern; thanks to the mod for putting this together! I'm Holley (aka complainr), and I'm plugging away on the homestretch for the Cardigan for Arwen from the Winter '06 IK, and I told myself that I had to finish that first before casting on for this!

I did buy the yarn this weekend while on a quick mini-vacation with my husband. He waited quite patiently as I chatted with the local yarn merchant and did about 3 very slow circuits around the shop before making my decision. (There's something just so very pleasant about finding yarn on trips.)



It's Nashua superwash wool; I've never worked with this particular brand before (or with superwash wool, either). I'm going to go ahead and test my gauge. Hopefully that'll go well...

Wow, that is such a beautiful color. Thank God for patient husbands. Mine sometimes takes a book and is happy to find a bench in front of a yarn store.

Aren't we lucky? Mine researches the area before we go anywhere to see if there is any yarn stores, then he comes in with me and finds things he says I have to have...
