Here's another knitting project. This one is different, not because of the pattern (its all knits and purls) but because of the yarn. The yarn is called Bamboo Bloom. It has thick and thin "spots". It's considered bulky weight and is 48% Rayon (made from bamboo), 44% wool and 8% acrylic.
With size 13 needles, cast on 70 stitches and join in the round.
Knit the thin yarn and purl the thick yarn (if it's in your hand or on your needle). This is what it will look like.
Knit and purl to the end of the ball of yarn. Block it by soaking it in water.
Then dry it flat.
Here's how it looks after being blocked.
I love wearing it!

Just bought Maija some needles last night and some new yarn for both girls!
