Sometimes a color inspires a knit project. This month's project spectrum colors include yellow. Last week as I was writing my post, I started thinking about the colors and remembered I had a wonderful yellow yarn somewhere in my stash. Now...I have not really been in a knitting mood, but it was pouring rain this past weekend and I was tired of knitting socks, so I went upstairs and dug out the yellow yarn. It's Elegance by Knit Picks - a combination of baby alpaca and silk - the colorway is Daisy. Gorgeous little piles of softness, squishy and wonderful! I decided to dig up a pattern and knit away.I won't share with you what I am making yet...it is almost finished! But, I want to see first how it all melds...then I will share. Right now I am enjoying simply knitting something simple and watching it come together. I paired this beautiful yarn with an equally stunning gift from my garden. The sun came out just long enough to capture this globe flower in full bloom.

love yellow! and i like to knit too:)added you to my links!
oh, you're such a tease! i want to see more! ;)
Great colour yellow is! Look good not on me! (that was meant to sound yoda-ish by the way)!
I'll enjoy seeing your project though!
It is a lovely shade of yellow, the yarn content sounds great. One day I will get my hands on some knit picks yarn.
That's a beautiful flower. As is the yarn. It looks lovely and scrummy and so soft! It looks gorgeous knit up as well. :)
It is with these knitting blogs that I started to pay attention to the quality of the yarn I knit with. Almost everything here is acrylic which is cheap but does not look good washed several times. Your alpaca looks nice and so do the flowers on your Flickr page I went through the last night. :)
Thanks for your comments on my blog. I love yellow! I want to see wwhat you have done!
I can't wait to see what you're making. That yellow is yummy!
can't wait to see what you're making!
That's a nice shade of yellow...can't wait to see what you are coming up with!
Thanks for the comment on the cowl...you SHOULD try some hand-spun! And considering we woke up to an inch of snow on the ground this morning (my garden was loving that!), knitting a cowl in June didn't seem that crazy anymore!
I love that shade of yellow you chose. It almost has a linen feel to it. Can't wait to see what you're up to.
Such a lovely, sweet little flower! And so is your knitting/yarn...Very curious to see what you've been working on. Yellow had never been "my" color...probably because I don't wear it well, so I don't often work with yellow in knitting or other crafting. But your post has me appreciating the color in a nice way. Happy Day :o)
Beautiful! I, too, am inspired...
lovely yellow flower! is that wool as soft as it looks? i'm curious to see what it turns out to be!
Oh what beautiful yellow yarn, so soft and gentle. I am having a little yellow love affair at the moment, I have a yellow dress, the wearing of which just cannot fail to make me feel happy.
It looks gorgeous - lovely shade of yellow.
i absolutely love the yellow of that flower, the shade, the focus on it, the shape, i really love it, wonderful inspiration... lovely the yarn too, here in italy the temperature outside is like 2 months ago, after so much rain and rain.... we are definetly waiting for the summer time!
