Ooh . . . this looks promising....
....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.
A close up of the colors, just for you.
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.
Oh, I *adore* calla lillies! I have for as along as I can remember. I of course *covet* your yarn and pattern! :-)

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.

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

Gorgeous!! Is it all sock yarn?
Posted by: Gracie | June 28, 2006 at 10:39 PM
Calla Lily. Definitely.

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

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

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?

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

What a wonderful dilemma. Both are quite beautiful.

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!

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

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