My knitting mojo came back when I was overtaken with the desire to knit something for Vanessa before she returned home. I dove into the stash and found the perfect yarn. Vanessa loves the color purple. This yarn, Noro Silk Mountain, is a bouclé yarn (65% Wool, 25% Silk, and 10% Kid Mohair). I bought it for its colors and sale price. I was not drawn to the bouclé, but it turned out to provide just the right interest in texture for my teenage girl. Sadly, it has been discontinued. I didn't have much time to knit this. But, as I am learning, when you have a great yarn, simple garter stitch is elevated. The alchemy is palpable.
She loved it. Maybe some day I'll get a picture of her wearing it.
