Blue Skies White Clouds

Still continuing with my knitted cloud studies. Both of these scarves were knitted with Patons' Pooch called--what else?--Big Sky. One scarf was knitted with a white thread of Sullivans Baby Soft Knitting Yarn and the other with a Sleepy Blue thread. It's pretty amazing the difference that a single, mohair-like polyamide thread makes.



I'm not a big fan of acrylic yarns, because they can feel a bit harsh, and the polyamide takes that edge off, so to speak. The scarves feel gentler to the skin. The skinny threads also altered the coloring ever so slightly. Unfortunately, it is not easily captured by my camera. The scarves were knitted in garter stitch. The bobbles made it a bit hard to handle, but it did rip out fairly well when I made a mistake ... er, changed my mind about the pattern.
