Even if its selfish...so what!! I hope to get to knit up one for yourself too.

Good for you! That will make extra special gifts. If you really love it though, you should have a present to yourself too

I just ordered some too (in dusky lavender) for a hat and scarf for my 2 year old DD. I love to spoil her.

Diamonds, cashmere? Diamonds, cashmere? I can't decide......I like both best!

Mmmmmmmm. Sounds yummy! Can't wait to hear what you think of it once you've had a chance to use it.

I've started to get this yarn on a couple of occasions, then didn't...I may have to get some next payday....yummy socks

ok its really soft! so nice and its not splitting and when ive had to frog and redo a few times its not getting super fuzzy or anything either, which is what i expect when i buy luxury yarns for cheap. this yarn is a WINNER!

im doubling up the yarn, and making the irish hiking scarf with an extra cable thrown in to make it larger and its going to be a very nice drapey scarf perfect for women. YAY!

I used it doubled on a #8 needle for the bottom edge of a hat and it came out great, nice and soft. The color also matched perfectly with varigated alpaca that I did the rest of the hat with. Will post of picture after I make the pom pom and get DD to model it.
