Anyway, the latest item off the wheel is this:
It started out as pencil roving from Crown Mountain Farms - specifically their superwash merino in the "I've got you babe" colorway. I purchased it at Oregon Flock and Fiber festival last fall. When I was done spinning and plying, I thought I had fingering weight, but after soaking and drying it had definitely "bloomed". Now I'm thinking it's more DK weight. The original intention for this was going to be socks, but now I'm considering Evelyn's lace leaf shawl.
What do you think?

I'm not sure what it should be, but definitely be something that shows it off. The yarn is beautiful.
I think it's gorgeous.
Do you have enough yardage to do a shawl? Maybe Evelyn's Spinner's Shawl?
Ooo, pretty pretty yarn. You ARE NOT a rank beginner any longer ;} Any pattern you choose will be beautiful, but Evelyn's Leaf Lace is really just the greatest shawl. I think that's a good choice. Better than DK weight socks, fer sur.

it is gorgeous! I would have to have that sitting around for a while just for looking! I am sure it will knit up beautifully though
