Now I just need to plan the perfect sweater for it. Or maybe a blanket?
So gorgeous! Would be perfect for a sweater!
WoW!!! So purty. Sweater for sure (says the girl who incessantly knits sweaters)
Laura, that yarn looks amazing! You must be so happy about finishing it. I think it would look absolutely amazing knit up with lots of cables, I can’t wait to see what it turns into.
that is absolutely stunning
It’s stunning Laura! I could see something with a shawl collar in this colour on you
