A bit late today with my knitting post. I was hoping to take pictures outside to show the colours better. Yesterday, it was drizzling so I waited. Today, it’s pouring, so you get inside pix.

This is a new yarn from Patons, called Delish. I saw it at Spinrite and was intrigued – it’s super bulky weight but has a chain construction. See?

This makes it light and squishy. Hmm.

I bought some of the green because I’d been wanting to make a poncho or capelet for the fall. The pattern I’m using is from Vogue Knitting, called Cable Front Capelet. Because it has raglan sleeves, I thought it might stay on – or stay put – better than a poncho. Here’s the Ravelry link to the pattern. Here’s the back:It’s not blocked yet and the flash did make it look darker, but you can see the graduating stripe that the yarn makes. The chain construction isn’t that evident in the finished knitting, and it feels so wonderfully soft. I’m quite happy with how it’s working out so far. It’s a fast knit, too – I might really be done in time for fall!

What do you think? Have you tried any new yarns lately?
