•(It looks like the yarn has been discontinued. I think this is the right colorway but I’m not sure. –Bethany)
oBethany is working on a cowl with Solo Cashmere from Filatura Du Crosa- sent to us for review. Thus far it is lovely, will go more in depth next time, cowl pattern is of her own imagination. Her October wedding shawl, yarn from Purl Soho, pattern by herself as well. Vanilla sock, yarn is Plymouth Happy Feet in the Blueberry Colorway, using the Fish Lips Kiss Heel. Wonder Woman wrap, yarn is Madeline Tosh, Up sized the needles from a US 4 to a US 6, cast on the smaller size and I am much happier.
