Fresh and New!

Dear One,
I am madly packing for a trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains, where 200 of my cousins (not kidding) are about to gather for a reunion. I tell you this as an excuse for the fact that my mind is even more scattered than usual.
I'm taking along my cotton/wool blend cardi project...even though I will probably be too busy talking and laughing to knit much. But a knitter's gotta have some knitting when she travels, right?
Even though I'm a bit stressed, I cannot, in good conscience, get on the plane without telling you about the best, newest cardigan of the summer. It's just been released and you should---at the very least---take a peek.
May I introduce to you the charming Rayas Cardigan by The Wandering Flock? It was released last week, so is brand, spanking new and I think you two might become great friends.
The suggested yarn is The Wandering Flock's very own Cotton Lino, a genius blend of 35% organic cotton/30% mulberry silk/20% linen/15% baby alpaca in a Sport Weight. This everything-but-the-kitchen-sink yarn is lovely in all the ways and can be a bit tricky to find.
But guess who has it in stock? Yep. Yarnology. Thirteen amazing colors as this goes to press.
Are you drawn more to the stripes or the colorblocking? Do you want it to be bright or subtle? Or, perhaps, a clever combination...
This feels like a time to try something new. Perhaps you have a new recipe for all of that zucchini you're accumulating. Maybe you've been thinking of exploring a new biking or hiking trail. Or, perhaps it's time to plan that trip you've been dreaming of taking. And, in the midst of it all, this might be the perfect time to try a new yarn and a new pattern. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Warmly,
Gaby
