Finally finished by Kaya Shrug , knitted in undyed merino/alpaca/silk chunky in 5.5mm and 6mm needles . Haven't blocked it yet , still it is sitting nicely .
Now the question is ...... to dye or not to dye ?
I like the natural creamy shade , however the ever talented Innes has dyed some similar yarn in shades of lilac , teal and deep pink and it looks gorgeous!
Something to think about while I knit my friends new baby a wee jacket . Yarn Debbie Bliss Cashmerino , shade Silver , pattern Naturally Nice Baby sweater by Lion Brand . It is knit in one piece (LOVE IT) and I have just the sleeves to finish now. Just as well since baby Poppy was born this morning at eleven!
Better get cracking!
