Finally, a moment to sit down and swatch some Frog Tree Picoboo yarn. It's a pima cotton amd bamboo blend. The Picoboo yarn has some sheen to it which I am drawn to and comes in these rich hues that are undescribable. I've sketched a spring shell and I've swatched it. I'm swaying back and forth as to which colorwork I want to incorporate into the shell. This design will premier at TNNA, Columbus. If you haven't heard of Frog Tree yarns, go to the link below. It's a non-profit organization that supports the Bolivian women who hand knit the sample sweaters seen in yarn shops and dye the yarns. It's a fabulous foundation and one that I will be donating 10% of my pattern proceeds to.

As always, I can't wait to see what you have come up with. The yarn is beautiful and what a great charity. I think I need to hire you or Cal to take my pictures for me. Your pictures are also so nice.
