Interlocking Balloons
After spending a week at the Greenpoint Post Office, my SYNO yarn made it home on Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised to find I am knitting Interlocking Balloons for Kris!
She sent the nicest package.
I'll be knitting with this super fab alpaca silk blend yarn. Its very very soft. And check out those cute alpacas on the label! awwww
Of course, I had to cast on right away.
In addition to choosing an interesting pattern and rocking yarn, Kris also included some gifties! There's alpaca and silk tweed in my most favorite color. I am looking forward to trying them out. Thanks Kris!

Lovely yarn and lovely pattern! I've been wanting to make that scarf too, it's my favourite pattern in Scarf Style. Maybe I'll knit it along with you. :-) Oh, and your minisweater looks really beautiful, can't wait to see it finished.

Yummy yarn and a good pattern (plus those goodies for you are fabulous) - what's not to like! What kind of needles are those?

How cool! I'm really digging seeing everyone's excitement about making/sending scarves for someone else to knit. What a cool idea.

Lucious! Also, what brand of needles are those? I don't think I've seen them before. Ever so pointy! I think I want some, too.

i am going to email you my scarf saga. right now, scarves can be made on their own as far as im concerned. however, that pattern sure is super looking. and those yarns look nice too!
