Last month
Kristi told me that she had been working with her mill to improve
Zoe Sock. Since it's one of my favorite yarns, I wasn't sure how it could be better than it already was. When she offered to send me some to knit up a sweater, of course I jumped at the chance! I searched through Ravelrys massive data base of patterns and decided on
Miriam. It looked like a straight forward pattern and I loved the fit on the model.
When the
Zoe in Driftwood arrived I was so excited I wound it and cast on.
Miriam proved to be a quick and uncomplicated knit. The new
Zoe is so soft and lofty and worked perfectly for Miriam.
The moment it was done blocking, I grabbed it and headed out the door. I hijacked Andy on his lunch and we went to a local park to take some pictures.
Ok, I am skipping in this last picture. It was a beautiful day and the sweater fit perfectly. What else can make a knitter so happy? Well the fact that I have another full skein left over for matching socks doesn't hurt! Now, just need to pick a pattern.....
PS
Shalimar Yarns is giving away a skein of the new
Zoe on their
