Sometimes with a great yarn all you need is a simple stitch and let it do it's thing.
I am in so love with this colorway -it has hints of oranges, yellows and greens. Plus it looks different in every light. Baktus also happens to be the perfect project to bring to knit night, not much fussiness and a simple repeat – pass the vino or pitcher of beer…
That wool is gorgeous!!

I love this scarf! So simple, so beautiful. I need to bring something like this to Sip & Stitch and not just the colorwork and entrelac projects.

It’s beautiful!! The two things I get the most compliments on are a garter stitch scarf and a garter stitch shawl, both using beautiful yarns and great colorways — one in Bamboo and the other in 100% Alpaca!

It looks GREAT! You’re absolutely right, sometimes you just need to sit back and let the yarn do all the work.
