I have completed project one of the epic project fest. I foresee a lot more knitting this weekend, as I really need to buckle down on the abigail warmers.
BUT! Way more exciting than project updates: My biggest, most adventurous project has just arrived, and I couldn't be more excited. First of all, I'm excited to be using yarn and a pattern from Quince & Co, an American yarn company. I discovered Quince & Co through a college acquaintance who has published several patterns with them. I get their near-daily mailing and love all of it. I recently ordered a copy of the shade guide, which is absolutely beautiful. Even if you don't have a pattern in mind, I would recommend ordering it - the colors will certainly inspire you to new knitterly heights!
Since I'm all about supporting American companies, local yarn stores, and independent businesses (or at least, I try to be that way!), I decided that my big project for the new year's winter knitting season would be from Quince & Co. I chose the Liesl Cowl because I am a sucker for cables. Also, a little bit because I want to be the model.
After an incredibly long and arduous process, I selected the color 122, also known as Marsh. It's an olivey, marshy green. The photos don't really do it justice - but I think it's super lovely and I'm really excited to start working with the yarn. It feels wonderful and I CAN'T WAIT.
More yarn shots because, in all seriousness, I can't get over how much I love everything about this yarn!
