But I didn't promise anything about quality. It's cloudy and raining so outside is not a choice for a photo shoot.First of all - Mystic Light. This is a companion piece to Mystic Water - still in progress. ML started this past week with clue 1. Since it is knit in sock yarn, it goes a bit faster - or seems like it. The colorway is Sugar Maple from Cherry Tree Hill Sockittome.
The yarn at left is Tupelo Honey, a laceweight Merino from Kim at The Woolen Rabbit. I doubt any photo will do this justice. It has a kazillion colors in the green, gold, beige range It's like each stitch will be a different color - very subtle but there.
This will be used to knit up Magic Carpet Ride by Susan at Sunflower Designs. The link goes to her blog so take a few minutes and look around. She has a wonderful way with words and some yummy photos.
Since Clue 2 of ML comes out Wednesday, I have some time to get back to Mystic Waters. I'm still on chart E with 4 to go, but I only have maybe 4 rows to finish before that chart hits the trashcan.
Now I'm off to get some longer size 5 needles for Mystic Light. The ones I have now just won't hold all the stitches if it's cramped already.

It looks gorgeous to me!!!!! Your yarn looks much like mine and you must be a loose knitter as well since you are using size 5s, I'm a bit looser - size 4s. :)
Aw, c'mon! Don't you mean which is BEST?
Looks wonderful! I so wish I could knit, but I have a serious deficit in yarn crafts! lol But your work looks great!
Cheers
