Pattern: Agatha by Elsebeth Lavold, from Book Two - The Sentimental Journey Collection
Yarn: Ming (50% silk / 50% merino wool) by Artfibers
Needles: KnitPicks Options 47-inch circular
This yarn is so wonderfully soft. Actually, to call this yarn soft would be an insult to Ming, as it is so much more. It's scrumptious, it's divine, it's - heaven. The colors are muted, yet saturated, and distributed perfectly when knit into this top. The yarn itself has a beautiful sheen, and a very slight halo.
I love Elsebeth's designs. To knit Agatha in Ming was just sheer pleasure for me. I can't remember exactly how much yarn I used. I'll have to figure it out. All I know is that I could knit with Ming forever and not mind one bit.
SOOOO pretty!

That's beautiful! Did you knit that in the round, or is there seaming involved? It's too bad Artfibers no longer has a store downtown.

I love your irises and I love this top and the one previous. Good work!
