Virga

click for closeup!

I was recently approached to see if I could do a custom dye lot of heathery grey yarn for a beautiful lace stole (print of the wave, by Eunny Jang) - and since I was playing with the dyes this weekend for a much needed restocking, I prepped up this monster skein. I'm pleased to present the first of my Ethereally Elemental line (very subtly variegated, perfect for lace or texturework!) This colorway is called Virga, and this particular skein is the only one of its kind for now. I love how the grey is oh so lightly variegated - just like how virga is!

Pi squared

Look! I do in fact still knit :) the 2nd Pi bed is now complete (well, mostly - still not yet felted), but as you can see, is devoid of cats. They seem to like it fine, I catch them laying on it, or next to it at times, but with the warm weather, they can't be bothered to curl up in it. Hopefully once its felted and the cooler weather hits, they'll take to them. Since there's no rush in getting these beds felted, I'll probably see what other felted projects I can put together so I can send them all through the wash at the same time!
