My sweet preschooler has been asking for new scarf, so what were my options? In between a visit to Ann at the cool new neighborhood coffee shop, a conference with a teacher and a Weight Watchers meeting, I snuck into Lettuce Knit and bought a ball of Berrocco Foliage. Everyone at the shop agreed that it was just perfect for Miss Priss.
(BTW, I can't believe I actually lost weight this week after so many splurges in Philly! Whoohoo!)
I also was determined to figure out the yarn I used for the pullover sweater in my previous post. It's Lana Grossa Tre Mouline. It's very splity, but it's a great sub for Rowan's Cotton Braid. I made the short sleeved button up top from the same book with the Cotton Braid. My only problem with the yarn (besides the price) is that I burn up every time it wear it. Even though it's really pretty and I get tons of compliments, I don't think I could ever make a more substantial piece with it.

I'm confused (as usual). Is the Cotton Braid the super-hot burning up sweater, or is the Lana Grossa?
BTW, congrats on losing more weight. I'll say it again, you look awesome.
It was like having a celebrity knitter at the group today! Join us every week Mo! And you do look fabulous! Now I have to get back to the pressure knitting of the final Harald St. Hat for the auction ... I'm almost a third of the way done!
It's the Cotton Braid that's hot. The Lana Grossa is just right. Both designs are from the cotton braid book. Maybe I'll post a pic of the cotton braid sweater to add to (or clear up) the confusion
that yarn is um pretty loud, but it's got charm.
Very pretty yarn for a scarf! She will love it!
Loud? You think? I'm playing to audience here -- a four-year hold who can carry off a lot of color. I gotta tell you, when she woke up the next morning to find her new scarf, she was sooo happy. She wore it all morning, even it the mid-50s temp. I post pics if I can get her to sit still.
