The Deco Columns Throw

There is a family wedding coming up.  The groom is one of my favorite people in the world so I wanted to make something very special for this celebration.

I looked at a lot of patterns.....and swatched Umaro which I think is lovely.   It is.  Just not for the yarn I am using.    The Deco Columns Throw seems to be a great choice.
Deco Columns Throw a couple skeins in to the project.

The stitch pattern is a six row repeat...just enough interest to keep from being dull but not so much that I can't work on it unless I am alone in a room with no stimulation.   So far, I am liking it a lot.

The project is living in one of my favorite knitting bags which was an great Etsy find.   This is one of those things that I coveted for quite awhile before I bought it.  The seamstress, who is in London, is very skilled and the workmanship in the bag is exquisite...and worth every penny that I paid for it.   Dolly, who is a great judge of knitting bags, has spent at least one day sleeping in the knitting bag, on the project.   As I know better than to wake a sleeping cat, those days not much knitting gets done.

Dolly helping with the knitting......not....
The bride is allergic to cats.   This project will be thoroughly washed before being given away.

At this point, I am still really enjoying this project and happily knitting along.    My goal is to finish it before I am heartily sick of it.

There are a couple of other projects going so that I can take breaks.   It keeps the fun alive.
