The 'daffodil' is restashed and a pound of 'ice blue' Zephyr Jaggerspun 2/18 is sitting in front of me.
I am happy. Really happy! I've been wanting to knit something blue and I couldn't be more pleased with this soft powdery pastel shade. I cannot wait to cast on tomorrow when the light is better. Have a cozy weekend, all, and hopefully I'll have a little progress to share in a few days! ~ Melissa

Pleased as Punch - Prairie KAL by guest blogger Kelly
Oh where to start? I fell in love with Juju's loops the second I laid eyes on it and bought it immediately. I knit up the Cedar Shake Mitts, and a matching cowl early this summer. I even found a sample of Brown Eyed Susan in a knitting shop and it was divine. When I found out that the Girls in Sheep Clothing were doing a Loop KAL, I was all about it.
But which yarn to choose...with so many options? I have to admit that the yarn sort of chose me. I am one lucky girl, because five minutes from where I work is an AMAZING resource called the Minnesota Fiber Guild. There is a gift shop, an art gallery, a library, and it is the residence of the Weaving Guild. Wow, Anything you could ask for! There is even a bargain bin full of delicious yarn, and there was some Jaggerspun Wool Silk that felt like it was waiting for me. I dyed it a pink-coral color, and we have both been waiting patiently for today. Without further ado, here it is! I included the before, the after and the inspiration.
