something pink this way comes

I've had this superwash merino in my stash for quite awhile.  It was purchased at a greatly reduced price as a "second" because of the number of knots in the skein and a small section that was underplyed.  I finally wound it off yesterday and found only three knots and a very small portion that is unusable.


Isn't it just the pink-est?!?!?


The twist is too soft to produce durable socks.  And the merino is very soft for a next to the skin project.  So I decided on a narrow scarf, along the lines of one I knit last year.  But with modifications.


The first modification is a narrow seed stitch band.

And it will have beads.  Definitely some beads.  The pink rather demands them, don't you think?


I'm just in such a pink mood these days.  Color.  Lots of color.  The brighter the better.

Encouraging truth:  We are seized with amazement in His presence.  (Luke 5:8-11)

What a beautiful pink. And I do think it is asking for beads.
