I had to squeeze in one more for myself. I guess I’ve being influenced by the world around me, but I’m in love with pinks, mauves, and purples these days. My mom was a big fan of mauve when I was a girl.
When I saw this Spanish Roof colorway from Gynx Yarns, I had to have it for a hat. I finished my first of these in two days, so it was only natural to cast on another for myself. I think I need a sweater to match. Maybe an Oshima or a Palladio?
Many of you have said you like the sitting-and-crafting-with-a -friend type of videos. You’re in luck! That was all I could muster this week while I healed an injury. Come test your power of focus and join me for a little knit and ramble.

gorgeous colorway! Been hearing a lot of good things about Gynx yarn, hoping to give it a try soon!
I love that colorway, my grandma used to love mauve. It makes me think of her all the time. She had this great mauve purse and I happened to find one similar a few months ago and just had to have it. It would be great to have a hat too match.

This may be a funny comment but that color is edible! ; )
That's a lovely color! I'm all about purple this year. No idea why, but at least I'll have some matching garments 🙂

Me too! Ravelry is brain washing all of us knitters. We're all in love with purples, mauves, and pinks lately. I want to make Teresa Gregorio's Drift's Ridge in a purple/ gray combo soon.
