Yarn candy

Yesterday, ElectricYoak suggested that my next knitting project should be a gift for a new baby girl born in March to friends of ours in SLC. (If you are her parents and you found your way here, quit reading, please!) I searched Knitty's archives for patterns and came up with Katja and Miss Dashwood. Yep, two little presents. I searched Rowan's website for compatible yarn since I know the tiny shop near the Rathaus carries Rowan. I think I can make both projects out of just two skeins of yarn, but I bought three to be safe. Christine put them in a cute, lime green bag while asking me if I really like Calmer - "it's so soft, but so expensive!"


I also bought a skein of Online Bamboo yarn with orange in it. E'Yoak talked me into an orange shirt when we were in Stuttgart so I figured I should make some coordinating socks. The Regia in back is the subject of the previous post. I think the green bamboo will be Pomatomus and the orange will become Jaywalkers. Or maybe cabled Widdershins. (I accidentally felted my wool Widdershins this week.)
