Sunflower in Soft Sunshine

Wow, is the weather dreary. It's been raining for days. So what's a girl to do????

Cast on a new project, of course!


The pattern is the cover project from the Nashua booklet "Style: Lace and Eyelets", which is where Bee Balm comes from. I loved how the Spa was knitting up, so went and got some more.

This is a bit of an experiment for me, as you can see: the yarn is not green. or blueish green or aqua or mint. It is, in fact, yellow. Soft Sunshine, to be exact (how can I not knit a pattern name "Sunflower" in a yarn called "Soft Sunshine"?).

I don't normally wear yellow. Okay, I never wear yellow. However, this one just called out to me. The pattern has a deep scooped neck, so it shouldn't be too close to my face. Fingers crossed, I'll be able to wear it.

So we'll see. I wish the weather was a bit better, as the photo doesn't do this color justice at all.

Meanwhile, I've got to finish up Bee Balm (the back is just about done) so I can concentrate on Sunflower!
