Once in a while, I’ll come across something that
I.ABSOLUTELY.MUST.MAKE.NOW.
It doesn’t happen often, which makes it special.
Nouveau Beaded Capelet is such a pattern.
It is a wonderful lace pattern, which isn’t overly floral or leafy. It has a great shape, and is knit from the bottom up.
I will be using some Jaggerspun Merino/Silk yarn, which was given to me by Sally, who had bought a cone, and used it for two whole projects, with half a cone still left. She got sick of it and I had expressed interest. I’m very fortunate to have such generous friends.
Given my situation with allergies in this house, I decided it was best if I give the yarn a wash first. It was a good thing I did too!
I have never used this yarn before, so I had no idea it would bleed this much. Thankfully that’s all in the sink, and not on my hands and needles. So now, I have time to get further on my Clockwork while this yarn dries.
I love that pattern, it went in my favourites the minute I saw it. It will look gorgeous in that colour (despite the bleed)
