Knitting for Olive Silk
I have knit 3 summer tops out of this particular yarn (1 in Pink Daisies, 1 in Soft Peach, 1 in Rhubarb Juice). They turn out beautifully. I enjoy working with this yarn. The stronger colors, like Pink Daisies or Blood Orange (which I couldn't get my hands on) are my favorite. Rhubarb Juice was a little feeble for me.
