I joined yet another knit-along<\/a> (because a girl can’t have too many lace stoles, you know, I do wear them everywhere…well, OK, not really, but they’re fun to knit) and wound up spending an unbelievable amount of time trying to find just the right yarn for it. <\/p>\n

\nThis is from No Two Snowflake’s Etsy shop<\/a>. (Never shopped on Etsy? Don’t blame me if your paypal account starts getting a workout. You’ve been warned.) Here’s a very accurate (and gorgeous) shot of the colors in this yarn:<\/p>\n

And yes, I’m aware those aren’t all meadow flowers (and that dandelions are weeds), but they all mean spring. Oh, and this picture of wild columbine<\/a> is just about a perfect match! I wonder if I can put some of these in my garden?<\/p>\n

(Besides, if the yarn doesn’t work out for the stole, squishy-soft fingering weight yarn is perfect for baby sweaters!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
