Don't you agree?
Since the Fall '08 issue of IK landed in my mailbox, I have been in love with the Mosiac Yoke Jacket (rav link). So in love that I moved it to the top of my queue, ordered the yarn online and thought about it during all of my Christmas gift making. So. In. Love.
{exit gifts & enter jacket knitting} The Reynolds Lite Lopi ~ I thought I could get past the scratchy wool, the itchy nose, the raw finger,...but if it feels so horrible while I'm knitting odds are good that I would never wear it, let alone finish it. So, we braved the cold and headed for Gina Brown's yarn store (and the tail-end of the Boxing Day Sale) and I landed smack-dab in the middle of a big pile of Berroco Ultra Alpaca.
Thank goodness for yarn stores, sales and pretty patterns.
Happy New Year everyone!
I also made the error of Lopi yarn once, it has never been repeated. I don't get the appeal of this yarn, it reminds me of why I never wore wool as a child...it hurt!
