la bella

I finished my Ishbel this weekend.

Pattern: Ishbel, by Ysolda Teague
Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock mediumweight in Thistle (less than one skein) on US6 needles

I know the lace doesn't pop as much in the variegated yarn, but I'm still very pleased with it.

This was a pretty quick knit, and I think I'm going to have to do another eventually. There's a skein of pink yarn in stash that's just begging to be another Ishbel.

The yarn is begging to be an Ishbel, eh? I'm glad I'm not the only one who has talking yarn! :)

It's a shame you weren't able to finish your scarf in time to meet Ysolda.

I really like it. I passed over the pattern till I saw your finished product.
Great!
