Turquoise Love
I love the way yarn inspires design. Love, love, love, love love. I bought this curly mohair bouclé from Elvincraft a few months after I got the fingering weight turquoise Desert Dreams there and knew before the curly even got here what a perfect match they would be. Bouclé is my least favorite yarn to knit with, because I'm always snagging the wrong loop, but this stuff was worth the extra effort, and thankfully, a little goes a long way. (Hint: use turbos, not lace needles on it!) It's still wet in the picture, and so a little limp looking, but it perks up into a full Harlequin ruff when dry. Love.

It's like you captured a bit of spring along with a butterfly wing and put it all together in this lovely wrap.
How talented you are! You are an amazing artist.
