I'm ready to begin ..

I had to make a quick decision as this will be my "travel knitting" and we're leaving next Friday.

Will be doing it in Mystical Creation's superwash 100% Merino, DK, in their Rise~N~Shine colorway.

And for contrast, I dyed some of the same yarn a bright orange.

Yup, I know I chose a DK yarn but I'm one of those that totally ignore gauge & don't swatch. If the yarn suggests to me that I can use 3.00mm to 4.00mm needles, that's good enough for me ;^)
