Comments: This yarn was just calling my name when I visited Amazing Threads for the "Style at Large" trunk show. It's very similar to Berocco Zen, but has a much better drape. Amazing Threads featured this yarn for their Project of the Month in July - a garter stitch shawl with a contrast color ribbon yarn crocheted around the edge. I didn't buy the pattern since I figured I could create a triangular garter stitch shawl pretty easily. I decided to forgo the crocheted edging and instead did an eyelet edging.

Comments: I made these flip flops for my niece as a birthday present. I think they're cute as can be, so I may make myself a pair, even though flip flops really bother my toes. Each pair took less than a skein of yarn and were super easy. As you can see, these don't really fit me - I wear an 8 and Jessica wears a 9.
