I have no idea why I have been knitting with yellowish yarn…I can’t wear yellow. It make me look dead. or getting dead. So here are photos of my most recent yellowish projects. The first is the Honey Cowl – a free pattern from Madelinetosh. It is a fairly easy slip stitch pattern in the round. It seemed to go on forever, but I think it would be a bit more interesting if I had used a yarn with some color variation. I think the new Madelinetosh Tosh Merino DK would really rock in this pattern. The Rimu was so interesting to work with though! It gets fluffier as you knit with it. The oils in your hands really makes the possum fibre come out from the yarn. I haven’t even blocked it yet but it already feels so much softer than it did when I started.
The second project is my Steeler hat, of course. It is the Selbu Modern pattern from Kelbourne Woolens. I think the yarn is Sweet Georgia…but it might be Fiberphile. I honestly have no idea what it is! It was in my stash…hrm…I guess this is why I should start putting thing on Ravelry.

I am knitting the Honey Cowl and it is a very soothing knit. Once I completed the first few rows and got into the rhythm of the slip stitches, I realized that the rhythm is what makes it so soothing. It’s a wonderful way to use a skein of lovely yarn.
