MALABRIGO MAKES LACEWEIGHT YARN? YAAAAAAAAAAY! I’m a HUGE Malabrigo fan (okay, well, addict). Yummm.

Hope your sweetie feels better soon. It’s awful having your wisdom teeth pulled.

I don’t have any suggestions, but I wanted to say that it is a luscious color! Every time I go to the LYS with my hubby he picks out beautiful, masculine colorways in malabrigo and shows them to me. I really need to knit him something with this yarn!

Gorgeous! I’ve gotten to pet this yarn in person, and it’s wonderful

My friend decided to go with Seraphim, but I know she was also considering Swallowtail and Spring Thing.

I have a skein of this too, and no idea what to do with it. And mine is pretty strikingly variegated, so the options are limited…

But the yardage in 1 skein is comparable to Misti Alpaca, right?–about 400 yards? So that means that Flower Basket, Swallowtail, and Trellis are all possibilities.

I love the fiberliciousness of the Malabrigo of course and it’s a great photo! I’ll be coming back to see what everybody suggests as well. I love the ideas so far. I think this yarn lends itself to more “solid” areas of knitting (i.e. Icarus) but would also be beautiful with any of the other pattens mentioned.

I hope that M. is doing well! No cocktails for a while, I imagine, with all the stuff one has to take after wisdom tooth surgery.

I have lighter purple Malabrigo in my stash too, so I’m going to keep checking your comments to see what others suggest. I was leaning in the Icarus direction…

There are the new classics: Kiri, Flower Basket Shawl, Shetland Triangle plus a couple from Anne Hanson at KnitSpot.

Be sure to search Knitty and Interweave Knits for other (free) ideas – especially if you want something other than a triangular shawl.

*drool* Yum yum yummy yarn!

Well, tell M not to overdo it – I did when I got my wisdom teeth out and got dry sockets. OUCH.
