Malabrigo Lace and Memoria Press

This is the Malabrigo laceweight I bought last week from the LYS. I intended to knit it up right away for someone who looks good in purple/mauve colors and in the store it looked pretty close.

I was going to make Wendy's Easy Flame Lace Scarf. It was the perfect project for me right NOW. So I got the yarn and yet when I got it home, it had morphed into something different.

It looks PINK with a little purple mixed in. I can not knit this now. It will have to wait until I get a chance to go back and exchange for a more subtle color for my subtle recipient. Bummer.

BTW, although I didn't know it, it turned out to be the exact colorway of Wendy's Easy Flame Lace Scarf, which is beautiful and fun. Just not for the lady who will receive it.





Also, I must show you this book:

It is so cool. My mother-in-law had a special list of birthday cakes she would make for her kids growing up. One of the most favorites was what they called "icebox cake". I have had the great pleasure of eating the said "icebox cake" and it was such a winner! I don't know why I never did it for my kids. Now that this book has come out and has the SAME cake, I can relive the glory of that cake and see so many more, with such variety....and they are EASY. Do try it!







The last shot is simply a schooling one. Memoria Press seems to be getting a lot of use lately. This one is cursive writing practice. She doesn't look like she's getting any practice, does she?

Ah... but you've managed to capture that look of pure enthusiasm that sweet young ones save just for their mums!
