Rondelay for Firefly Fibers

Today I have a very special FO to share with you - Rondelay: Rondelay is a fun knit using just one skein of sock yarn. The pattern calls for Malabrigo Sock (and I love all things Malabrigo), but with Rowan releasing their first hand-painted sock yarn, it was the perfect opportunity for a shop sample with this brand new yarn.

The end result is stunning - it was the perfect pairing of design and yarn!

I cast on and finished the first Rondel quickly (there are 3 Rondels), but then it was pushed aside until classes were posted at the shop. I was finally able to pick it again at the beginning of June when I shared my progress from the freezing baseball game. Even with putting it down for a bit, it still knit up quickly and the bind off was perfect for social knitting.

Raveled: Rondelay

Pattern: Rondelay by Jennifer Dassau

Yarn: Fine Art by Rowan Color 306 - Lapwing

Both yarn and pattern are highly recommended! My finished Rondelay is currently on display at Firefly Fibers if you are in the area and want to see it in person!

As an added bonus, I have about 8 gr of yarn left - can you say Hexipuff?!

More to come on my Beekeeper's Quilt addiction in the very near future!

Cheers!

Fiber Freeze Frame | Fine Art

So, a box of this arrived today... Lovely, isn't it? After the excitement of the huge SweetGeorgia order arriving last week, today's arrival of Rowan's much anticipated Fine Art was almost more than I could handle - many thanks to Jennifer for joining in the fun of opening boxes this morning.

A variety of yarn from last week's order has been trying to leap onto my needles, but this little bit of beauty has budged right to the front of the line! I'll share my progress along the way, so check back to see what it becomes. I'm off to wind some yarn...
