Lida!

Man, can we talk about how much I love Quince and Co.'s Sparrow yarn? Gorgeous! Luminous! Effortless! I knit three sample garments in it in quick succession earlier this year, and absolutely jumped at the chance to design with it myself. The fruits of that labor appeared today in the Quince newsletter. Introducing: the Lida Shawl!

I will be knitting this for myself as soon as I can. Maybe multiple times. =)

    Thank you all for your kind words! Despite the absolute yonks it's taken me to reply, I appreciate them all so much.
