Sundara yarn

Oh my. A couple of weeks ago I managed to score some sock yarn from Sundara's new website during an update. I just returned from vacation and found the package and WOWZA. This woman's dyeing skills definitely live up to they hype! I can't wait to knit with this, but I also plan on spending some quality time gazing at the skeins.
I'm going to post the yarns one at a time (three total) so check back if you want to see more pretty yarn.

This is the one limited edition sock yarn I managed to snag. For the uninitiated, that means this color is gone for good and Sundara won't be dyeing it again. It's called sky over lilac and I looooooooooove it.



It's hard to capture this in photos, but when I compared this yarn to some of my other sockyarn stash I saw all the varieties of colors in Sundara's dyeing. It's not just three or four different blues. It's a whole range of delicious variations. I tried to count and gave up around six. Better to just soak in the colors anyway.

The vest is growing slowly but surely.

Somehow I think that because this doesn't have sleeves it should take way less time than a sweater. I mean, shouldn't I be done already?? Bah. But the yarn is soft and it was a great project to work on while drinking gin and tonics with my toes in the sand. Ah...
