Sparkle is the Spice of Life…
It’s hot in Miami. It’s humid. It’s not watcha call scarf season in July…BUT…sparkle is never a “seasonal” thing with me - sparkles make me happy. A little happy was called for. SOOOO, I found two balls of a funky handspun yarn (one ball is called “Cupcake” and the other “Lollipop”) I bought on etsy from a vendor called Venus Art. I alternated yarns from each ball every two rows to mix them together and basically just knit garter stitch until I got close to the end of my yarn. It’s fun, it’s sparkly, the pictures don’t do it justics - the yarns have so many colors, textures, sequins, just so pretty - I loved watching the colorways work up.
I took way too many pictures, but I was trying to get the colors to show up nicely - didn’t work, but hey…CLICK ON THE PICS TO ENLARGE THEM
My daughter begrudgingly agreed to model (in the sweltering heat):
The yarn was a bit tricky to work with because the portions with sequins made it a bit difficult to knit with without getting the fabric too tight, but overall it was great fun, very quick and instant sparkle gratification 
HAPPY FOURTH EVERYONE!!
