Sonne!

Sonne!

So, I'm officially old as of this weekend. How depressing. I'll need to celebrate it at some point with the proper Finnish way*, maybe that'd make me feel better.

Meanwhile, I got a skein of Sonne and I am making myself a glowing shawl. Glowing I tell you! Sonne was actually the first colour of Wollmeise I ever saw and it was pretty much love at first sight. I'm so happy to be knitting with something as beautiful as this yarn.

But the shawl - I am just relying on the colour doing it all. I am using Lumiruusu pattern from Ulla 1/08 and I'll combine the edging from Aeolian to it. And it's a triangle and not a half circle. Actually I feel like even this amount of patterning is distracting the yarn, but I also wanted something airy and lacey.. hopefully this is a good compromise.

*involving alcohol, alcohol and if you're a bit wussy like I am, some cake
