This yarn has captured my imagination since the first time I saw it. The very first time I saw it was when Victor (aka Elemmaciltur on Ravelry) knit a Mystic Waters using it. That was back in 2007. The yarn is Wollmeise Lace-Garn in Pfefferminz Prinz, and I just love these blues and greens together.
Of course, as I’m sure you know, purchasing Wollmeise is tricky to say the least, and hunting for a specific colourway even more so. But I was very lucky a year ago, and Nikki (aka kurokids on Ravelry) offered me one of her skeins of Pfefferminz Prinz.
Since then, I have been looking for the perfect project. I have had several different ideas, but nothing that seemed just right. Finally this past weekend I began swatching for a laceweight cardigan. And I can tell this is going to be it. I cast on on Sunday evening and have managed to knit a few rows on the body.
The colours make me think not so much of peppermint as of turquoise oceans in the Caribbean.
