yarn-gasms

I wound a skein of my Sundara Aran Silky Merino in Black Cherry. I started a Cavern Cardigan with it, a top-down low-cut cardigan with raglan sleeves. It's about 4 inches long now and whenever I look at the smooth swaths of stockinette, I'm overcome by yarngasms because the aran silky merino is so beautiful. It's silky soft to the touch but the merino ensures that it's not as limp as a 100% silk yarn would be. It's got the slight sheen from the silk, accentuating the subtle variations in the rich black cherry coloring.

I finished knitting my $90 scarf this weekend. It's awesome and totally cute and currently drying on the dining table.
