an easy (and i'm guessing fairly quick)





made out of bamboo: "Have you knit with bamboo yet? It's a real treat! Shiny and soft like silk, but durable like linen, bamboo is also an environmentally enlightened choice. As the world's fastest growing plant, bamboo is a wonderful sustainable resource. Harvesting the cellulose needed to make yarn doesn't even kill the plant. In fact, a few short months later, it's ready to be harvested again. Also, bamboo absorbs almost five times the amount of greenhouse gasses and makes 35% more oxygen than an equivalent grove of trees. Fresh air! Plus bamboo yarn is biodegradable, naturally antibacterial, and helps protect against UV rays. Good stuff! "..............
not only do i love her simple (but elegant) design, i LOVE the yarn choice as well.
