Woohoo! I'm famous! Well, sort of...
The backstory... I answered a post a while ago from KnitPicks, an awesome yarn supplier, for people to knit samples for their catalog. I sent a few photos of finished objects and lo and behold, received an assignment to knit a scarf with their knew luxury yarn, Panache. You have to check this stuff out (and, of course, take a goggle at my cool Window scarf). Check it out here . Pretty cool, eh? The best part: I got paid to knit!
I'm not crazy about the design -- I don't think it was really the right choice for this yarn -- but the yarn was awesome to work with, a decadent blend of baby alpaca, cashmere, silk and extrafine merino. And there was a bit left over for me to play with! Now, if I could only figure out what to make... and find the time...
congratulations! :)
