I’m not sure what happened. I went into my LYS to look for sock yarn, I swear. And somehow, I came out with several skeins of Berroco’s Lumina, in Gold Coast:I have to apologize for the photos- I have been waiting for a really sunny day, so that you could truly see just how damn sparkly this yarn is, but it’s been rainy and cloudy and only seems to be sunny when I’m at work and trapped at my desk. So- semi-overcast shots. It’s a lot more sparkly in person. I bet you’re wondering what that mysterious shining gold thing is. And I’m going to be mean and not tell you anything, except that it is a surprise, and a design of my own. I will say this- it is very fun knitting with this yarn. It reminds me of the story of Rumpelstiltskin, how he spun straw into gold for the miller’s daughter. It’s how I imagine spun gold would really look! And feel. It’s a little scratchy, I won’t lie.
