yarn: merino, silk, blue fox, and bamboo

I’ve got four different pairs of socks on the needles right now, so I should have all sorts of done socks soon, but until then here is some yarn I just finished plying. It’s being turned into a shawl-I started knitting the shawl, but as it turns out I’m allergic to the yarn, so my mom is finishing it up for me. What a nice mommy.

The yarn is four plies of a blue fox/merino blend, with one ply of a silk/bamboo yarn. It’s a worsted weight yarn, and it’s knitting up quite nicely. It will be a really warm shawl when done!

and here’s some pictures of the shawl in progress

The shawl has some shoulder shaping, and a line of increases down the back. It’s a fairly simple lace pattern, but I like how it looks. I’m really sorry that I’m allergic to it!
