Gorgeous Taiyo yarn knitted into a Quant

Noro's Taiyo yarn is a rainbow in a ball of yarn as you can see here. I found a pattern for a basketweave quant, loved it so much I knitted two for friends. They make a nice alternative to a beanie.

Unravelling time

Oh dear! A whole month's worth of knitting disgracefully unpicked and lying there waiting, waiting patiently to be knitted up again into a sample wrap. I can't bear a mistake and it would be so obvious in this pattern. See pattern here on MadelineTosh website.

The variegated yarns of this shade of Noro Silk Garden sock yarn is a little too contrasty for my taste, but once I put a deep frill on it, it may change the whole look. I love the knit fabric of garter stitch which shows up the blending of colours in the yarn so well. (I will have to find some more Austenish good movies to watch and knit by this weekend!)
