I’m hoping to start knitting the Sahara this weekend for a co-worker (part of a staff gift for a milestone birthday) – that is, if I can tear myself away from my red linen Perfect Dress!

Here is the Sahara (right now I will be making the long sleeved one):

… and here are the yarns and colours my co-worker chose:

Ella Rae Silkience (41% cotton, 39% modal, 12% silk and 8% rayon), colour #10:

and Eden Madil Print Bamboo, colour #40:

They both feel so luxurious and soft… my only concern is that I will refuse to relinquish the sweater once it is finished!

But I do have plans for a (short sleeved) Sahara for myself also in Eden Madil (blue and black).
