Roam - If you want to....

The new Fall Knitty just went live and there are lots of scrummy patterns to choose from, as well as a great article on Stash Storage (which is something I have a serious problem with).

I have to say that my ab fab fav for patterns is Roam by Laura Chau. Cute hoodie with great detailing and made with the most divine Handmaiden yarn - Great Big Sea. I am a huge Great Big Sea fan, both the yarn and the band, if truth be told. Really surprised that more folks haven't featured this yarn.

I bought Great Big Sea for the first time, because I loved the name, since it reminded me of the band Great Big Sea... but after that first skein in Peridot, I was sunk. :)

Great Big Sea is just luscious. 50% Silk, 30% Wool, 20% Seacell® Yummy, yummy, yummy.

I have 5 skeins of Peridot that I need to use up before I feel justified in getting my supplies for Roam. I want to make Roam using a darker colorway.

Oh! I have to mention that the Handmaiden 12-ply cashmere is gorgeous as well. It so soft and cuddly and feels a bit spongy when you are knitting it you. Just amazing.

Turning into a serious Handmaiden and Fleece Artist fangirl.
