Well it looks promising and I'm pleased with the colors. It's soft and squishy and might turn out to be gorgeous. But! It's going to be difficult to wear, because the yarn is prone to fuzzing and there are long floats. Singles were used for the prototypes, so I felt that choosing singles wasn't a bad idea, but heaven forbid this should get anywhere near velcro or any toothsome surface.

Initial swatch looks promising. Probably I will cast on this afternoon, since I finished a sweater yesterday. A lovely way to kick off the holiday season.

Cranberry sauce is done, stuffing is prepared, broth is simmering with the last herbs from the garden. The late autumn sun is shining, it's not too cold, and I have several days off work in a row. Life is good in this moment.

That feeling just before swatching when beautiful yarn is still pure potential...
