I can't wait to dye some and see if it fattens up in the wash just like the sport weight does. The Kona is such an interesting yarn. It's so lightweight for the yardage. YOu get 100 more yards per pound than Louet Gems Opal (another sport weight superwash wool I use) and it's a chubbier sport weight, to boot. There's a vast difference (600+ yards per pound) between the Kona fingering and the Louet Gems Pearl. That's a whole pair of socks made from the difference. Thanks for the mention, sweet lady!

They are called Cagoules. I love the color of this hat and the plmup little lips!!

I was at Knit/Purl with my lacey sweater for the bind-off event. I can't stop thinking about that shawl because I want to make one now, too, to wrap my baby in. Mmm, bouncy!
