The Selected Yarn!

So I had to choose the yarn I was going to use for the SSK and it was a difficult choice. I had decided that I would work with one of Louet Sales yarns and these were the two I was selecting from. The one on the left (Gems) is 100% wool and WONDERFULLY soft. The mustard yarn on the right (Merlin) is 70% wool / 30% linen blend. It is not quite as soft, but based on my other experiences with linen, I expect it to become wonderful.

I have been working on the first strips in the Gems (my selection) and I am VERY happy with the result. I was asked today to see the finished garment, but it is still in process. I expect to have it completed prior to the "official" beginning of the knit-a-long. Keep watching for glimpses along the way!
