Christmas Knitting

I feel pretty proud of myself that I finished my Hemlock Ring blanket.  It turned out fabulous.  Here are some preliminary pictures!




I am also working on several other presents at the moment!  I wonder if I can get them all done?

Mmmmmalibrigo

Yummiest yarn I have worked with so far.  Wow I don't mind spending more on this yarn because of how delicious it feels.  I have heard about pilling but haven't had enough experience with it yet to comment on that.  I went to my LYS today and got some more Malabrigo Worsted as well as some of the Malabrigo Twist.  The twist feels just as soft as the regular Malabrigo Worsted but is supposed to have less pilling.  I will write another review once I have more experience with it.  But it is like knitting with butter . . . so soft you won't believe its 100% wool.  It is Merino wool and kettle dyed so the colors are gorgeous as well.

If you haven't tried it yet I recommend trying it at least once.
