W.I.P. Wednesday

I have posted before about how I won a prize package from Red Heart a little while back.
One of the yarns included was Red Heart Luce.  It is so beautiful, photos just don't do justice.  It is a mohair blend with sequins.

The color I received was "Verde" - is a lovely deep green.  It almost looks grey but when you get a good look at it in the light, you can see the true color.

I love it - it may have been my favorite yarn in the prize package because it isn't something I normally would have bought.

1) You can't buy it in stores, it is only available at RedHeart.com
2) I haven't really worked with mohair before and
3) It is a little pricey (worth it though)

I have been trying to decide what to make with it and I only wanted to use this one ball of yarn...luckily, Red Heart recently released this great Brilla Beanie Pattern and it only required one ball....PERFECT, I thought!

So...I have started it - it is knitted flat (much easier for me, although I have gotten better at knitting on circular and double pointed needles, I still prefer straight needles.

So far...so good.
