I got the yarn on Monday for the Knit Picks sample of my Evellyn Anne blanket pattern! Yes, it really is this green. Haha. The color is called "Parrot". It looked a little more pastel on the website picture, but I still like it, and think this blanket will look terrific!
This picture is from Monday night. I didn't get much knitting done yesterday, so it only has one more row(from the center) of diamonds completed now. I just transferred it to a circular needle; I picked my shortest size US6, and it's actually a little too short at this point. So I'll transfer it again on the next round to a longer circ.♥
I'm using KP Swish DK again; same yarn type as I used for Posy Patch. I really like this yarn. It's incredibly soft, and very nice to work with. I hear that it's also great when it comes to washing, but as I've never washed anything made from it(just soaked and blocked) I can't speak from experience there. I should knit up a swatch and wash it, just to see how it behaves. Maybe I'll do that....when I'm done with this project.♥
I went to the gym this morning; worked abs and legs, and did 22 minutes on a stationary bike. Good workout. My shoulders are still a bit sore, so I put some BioFreeze on them; hope it helps because I want to work arms again tomorrow.
