Lately I have been making samples for my upcoming classes. I found a couple of great patterns, one in Texas and one at Shepherd's Harvest. As I am working on the Silken Straw (finally at the yoke!) today I cast on for a tunic in Shibui Linen. It is much easier to work with than the silk and the project is going to be ready quickly.

The Pine Bough Cowl. The yarn is soft and gets even softer
after it is washed! |
Looking ahead to an upcoming class, "The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns," by Ann Budd is a great resource for plain garments that can be changed to suit the wearer.

I loved the browns and grays amongst the vibrant colors--cashmere and silk
blended with merino is a nice touch, also. |
