purple loveliness

I just wanted to share a little peak at something I'm working on, it's for a contest that I found in a new group I found on ravelry. It needs to be finished by the end of August. Deadlines are good. I don't have any type of urge to just set it aside for a new project. Although, it does have to sit for a week or so, until I have the money to get the yarn needed to finish.

These motifs are so fun to make, I wish I needed to make more of them. The motif I'm using can be found here. The purple I'm using makes me swoon so ridiculously hard, I've had a really hard time photographing it, so the picture does it absolutely no justice. Hopefully, the end result will be easier to capture.

ps: go see Carina's blog, she's the reason I posted today, I'd still be sitting here not sharing anything if I hadn't seen her post today.
