Favorite Bernat Yarn

[Shandeh]

Shadeh, I love the Daydream colors. What kind of top are you making with it?
I just began work on my feather and fan scarf today. I am very impressed how light and silky Mosaic is, and how nice it is to work with!

The top I plan on making is the "Garter Ridge V-Neck" pattern, which was in Knit Simple magazine Fall 2010. The design has a garter stitch bodice, and the rest of the top is knit from side to side in stockinette with raised garter rows. I think the color changes with the Mosaic yarn will look very nice with that pattern. Time will tell!

Hi Shandeh! I followed the link (thanks!) for the top--I Really like it! It will look awesome in Mosaic! Can't wait to see it!

I have a good feeling about it. I like that designer. The first sweater I ever knit was designed by her, and it was published in a different magazine. She is good at making things that fit well on a plus size frame. Bernat has excellent plus size patterns as well...that go all the way to size 5X! That's the reason I fell in love with Bernat.

Shandeh, was sweater you mentioned--your first sweater, the lacy lavender one in one of your photos? It's lovely!
I love Bernat yarn and being part of this community makes me love Bernat even more.
Currently I am working on Doily discloth --my 4th one-- (Lily/Sugar 'n' Cream yarn in Rainbow Bright) for a cousin who is battling leukemia. I thought it might bring a little sunshine to her.

I love that sweater too! But, it wasn't my first sweater.
Here's a photo of the lacy lavender one, though...so others can see what we're talking about.

Wow. Just wow. I love both of them--they are exquisite! Thanks for the inspiration!

[Shandeh]

Thanks! As you can tell from the photos, I was very proud of both of them.

[mittenmaker]

As well you should be, Shandeh. They are very impressive and you wear them so well!

[zhanie]

you do look proud!!:)

Well done.

Today I bought some Bernat mosaic in blues and I am crocheting a vest with it. I love the look of the colours!! I think this is my favourite yarn, at least for today

Hi zhanie! How is the vest going? Is your Mosaic yarn the one with the blues and greens in it? (Spectrum)? Hope to see some pictures of it! Happy Spring!
