Super Calla!

img_1385  Ooh . . . this looks promising….

img_1392  ….And it delivers, too! We have here two skeins of Sundara Yarn in her “Calla Lily” colorway–a beautiful combo of greens and mulberries–just for the Petals Collection. A pattern (appropriately called “Calla Lily”) to go with it. A sweet little flower-shaped lollipop in a coordinating pink. A postcard picture of the flower showing the inspiration for the color. A note from Sundara herself. All wrapped in matching tissue paper. VERY nice presentation.

img_1393_1  A close up of the colors, just for you.

img_2801  My problem now? Yesterday, I wound my pretty, hand-dyed yarn from my tea-pal, Lu . . . but now I’m tempted to just dive into this, my new Calla Lily yarn . . . What’s a girl to do? (For the record, the yarn from Lu is actually greener than it appears here.)

Really, it’s just such a pretty yarn. Both of them.

  1. Oh, I *adore* calla lillies! I have for as along as I can remember. I of course *covet* your yarn and pattern! :-)

  2. That is so pretty!! I *knew* I should have signed up for Petals, sigh. Can’t wait to see what the pattern looks like knitted up…how cool that she took inspiration from the flower.

  3. Hi Deb! I emailed Sundara and there was no KAL! So I started one…the link is on my blog. I hope you join! :)

  4. Gorgeous!! Is it all sock yarn?

  5. Calla Lily. Definitely.

  6. Beautiful - I really should have signed up for this. Cast on with both!

  7. What beautiful yarn -all of it! You really do have a dilema, don’t you. Eeeeny Meeeny Miny Mo would work :)

  8. I think you should do one sock in each colorway, alternating so that you get to knit with both in the near future. :) Compromise you know?

  9. Purty! There are no calla lilies that color where I live. Maybe I am thinking about cannas… Anyway I love the colors.

  10. What a wonderful dilemma. Both are quite beautiful.

  11. Hi Deb! For some reason, I thought I had your email address but now I can’t find it. Can you send me an email at affiknitty at gmail dot com so that I can send you an invite for the Petals KAL? Thanks!

  12. All so beautiful! Decisions, decisions. Gotta love eustress.

    BTW: I have Archangel on reserve at the library. Can’t wait. Thanks for the tip!

  13. You are better than me. I ripped mine open before I thought to take a picture! Isn’t it lovely!

  14. Oh, yum. I love a good package that delivers. And I love Sundara Yarn!

  15. Hi,
    I’ve been keeping up with your blog for a few weeks now and hope you dont mind that I added you to my new blog. I enjoy seeing what you are knitting and the progress you report.
    Feel free to add mine to your list if you’d like.
    Thanks!
