Valour

I started the back of my Valour Friday night, and finished it today on the way home from Virginia.  How's that for fast! 



 I really love this yarn - so quick to work up, but it really doesn't feel bulky or heavy.  And the colors - so bright and fresh, but not at all in your face. I have the "wrong side" up in this photo.  The pattern calls for a 3x1 rib with the purl 3 side as the right side.  You get a strong sense of the texture in the photo here. 


I think I prefer the smoother side up--just not a big fan of reverse stockinette in great quantities.  I am picturing this with a pair of grey trousers, a white blouse and this belt. 


Always looking for an excuse to wear this belt.
