Lovely Cherry

I started a new project recently- Cherry by Anna Bell. This is a sweet, short sleeve cardigan with a "little birds" pattern all over it. I saw the version that tentenknits did, I was inspired! I'm using the same yarn she did, Elann Sonata (mine is in color: silver sage). This yarn is incredibly cheap- less then $20 for the 7 skeins I needed! Its a mercerized cotton. I thought after using the Blue Sky Alpacas Organic Dyed Cotton, I would be done with cotton. However, so far this yarn is pretty nice to work with. (Unfortunately, my photo isn't great). The color of the yarn is actually a beautifully pale gray-sage color with a nice sheen).

Its pretty great to be doing a project with delicate yarn on smallish needles, after the chunky things I've finished of late.
