A Beautiful Thing
Don't you just love the way Koigu KPPPM looks when it's knit up in stockinette? And don't you love it even more when it's in the round, so you don't have to purl? (Actually, I really enjoy purling, but it's nice to have the mindlessness of endless knit stitches, not to mention never having to turn the knitting over.)
Anyhow, this is 132 stitches of pure Koigu goodness knit in the round. Why, it's going to be a scarf, I say. Or at least, I hope. I only bought five skeins, and now I wish I had purchased more. (But I sent an email to Kristine to see if she has more, now that it's a couple weeks since I was at the store.) I'm knitting the scarf in the round, and then I plan to graft the ends closed so that it's a big long stockinette tube which becomes a long rectangle when pressed. So it won't have any "wrong side." I think it will be fun. And at any rate, it will be glorious? I mean, how can you not love these colors?
Yay!
