but i have to. because unfortunately, they're not mine ;) i absolutely love it when a request is made that's knit with yarns as nice as malabrigo. i really enjoyed knitting every stitch of this project.
the deets?
pattern: toasty by leslie friend
needle: 4.5mm/US 7
yarn: malabrigo merino worsted in cognac.
the yarn is so soft and squishy, and has amazing stitch definition... i absolutely love it! these were the simplest of designs, and fit like a glove. (har har)
now if only there were enough hours in the day for me to knit up another pair for myself... sigh. i totally will though. because i have to have a pair. these are amazing. and i know my friend is going to love them!
how is your holiday knitting coming along? what are you currently working on? do share! i'd love to chat with you! xo
i'm working with malabrigo yarn, too! it's the silky merino, and i love love it... started a small scarf for a friend's birthday yesterday -- hoping it's done today because her party is tomorrow!

DeleteI'm now working on the downtown beanie pattern that was in mollie makes june issue. These will have to be next on my selfish knitting list. Just keep knitting!
ReplyDeletedefinitely just keep knitting!!! can't wait to see all of your lovely f.o's! xo
DeleteI just love these and want to make them myself! I can't get to a yarn shop at the moment, so I am planning to order the yarn on line. Is yours malabrigio merino worsted color 158? It is just that yours looks like it is variegated yarn, but on the website, it is just a solid color. Thanks!
ReplyDeletehii! i ordered the yarn at eatsleepknit.com i just looked it up and yep. it's number 158 - cognac. it seems to be sold out at the moment at that site.. but i'm sure you could find it on another site?
Deletehappy knitting!! xo
