But this time I pulled out the lighter shades of gray of Carnie's fleece and blended it with some mohair I had been gifted during the Tour de Fleece a few years back.
It was all just another experiment gone right. The result is such a soft lofty yarn with just a touch of shimmer and halo that was a dream to spin and knit with.
The pattern is one I has admired for a while, Ann Hanson's Violet. My own homegrown, handspun yarn seemed like a good choice to do it justice.

| {How about those buttons?!} |
Most of the this knitting took place during our every other week sessions at the infusion lab.
Fritz's nurses have tracked my progress on this one and I look forward to showing them the finished project. They are a wonderful group of people,
who take such good care of us.
Always Grateful,
