Stitches + Rhinebeck =

Ellen’s Half Pint Farm!

I picked up two hanks of this lovely purple alpaca-silk lace yarn at Stitches. When I got home, I checked the Icarus Shawl pattern (which I thought it would be perfect for) and realized… I didn’t have enough.

Luckily, when I stopped by the Ellen’s booth at Rhinebeck, she had another hank of it. And, it was even from the same dyelot (per Ellen herself), so now I’m good to go! Icarus, you will be mine!

Gotta love going on the fiber fest tour of the east coast. Not enough yarn? Just hit the booth at your next stop. ;) It’s very pretty. Stepping outside of your comfort zone a bit with the color? Nice.

It’s lovely and squishy. And I wouldn’t have been able to resist it either, it’s just gorgeous.
