So, remember how I said I don’t have any knitting resolutions? That is not true….I need to knit up some of the gift yarn that has been given to me. Over the last year I have received some very nice yarn as gifts from people. People who have gone out of their way and hunted down something they knew I would like. It is all beautiful and I plan to go out of my way to make sure I knit it from the stash instead of hoarding it. This yarn is a start….it is a gift from Jessie who visited several yarn shops in Montana and even toured a mill. It is plant dyed and very rustic. Have I ever mentioned how happy I am to find vegetable matter in my yarn? I reminds me that the material comes from a living thing. Rustic yarns rock. It is my first plant dyed yarn ever. It did bleed quite a bit on my hands while I was knitting; however, when I soaked them for blocking they didn’t bleed too much so we’ll see how it goes wearing them.
The pattern is from Indigirl, Amy Swenson. I love all of her designs because they are simple in construction but still beautiful. No complicated seaming and usually lots of cables. Anyway, I am sure you are all familiar with her. I have been reading her blog for forever. As soon as she put this pattern on her blog, I knew I needed to knit them. My above photo makes them look goofy. On your hand they are just gorgeous….I tried my best with photo below. Does not do the arrowheads justice though.
Good news? There were two hanks of this yarn…now I will knit a pattern from a book I received as a gift from my friend Katrina. 
It is cable-y too but calls for a smaller gauge, but I think it will work nicely with this yarn.
