Denim – never gets tired.

As most of you have already seen, I’ve started a Waterlily knit-a-long on the Kettle Yarn Co. group page for all of us casting on. I thought it would be fun to share our progress and see all the different versions in one place, so please come over and say hello if you are starting yours soon!

Here is mine at the moment shown in the most ideal knitting location:

As I’ve been developing some new shades of ISLINGTON the last while, I thought I’d do a post on one of my new favs – Chambray:

A nice light denim blu,e the colour is perfect for those staple garments that you’ll wear forever:

The hue is the exact shade of a chambray shirt I had years ago that I love and wore until it was falling apart! It is destined to become something special for me and I am looking for just the right knit for it already.

Here are a few maybes for spring knitting that would make for amazing staples that I’d wear forever:

Anyone have some other suggestions? Please share!

I’ve started Waterlily and am making good progress…

I am using my ‘Vestige‘ colourway which is a light silver with subtle glints of grey/blue:

It is such a relief to be knitting with fingering weight again and my hands are thanking me!
