I have never knitted with bamboo before, although I have seen lots of patterns that use it. In town the other week, I saw some reduced and bought a pattern for 50p. I felt sure, that although the yarn was half price, I would be able to get it cheaper on EBay so I came home and checked.
The yarn arrived on Monday, with a pattern, so I ended up knitting something completely different to what I had intended. This is knitted using Sirdar Just Bamboo and I love it. It is so soft and has a lovely drape.
I need to go and block this now, and I still want to knit the pattern I originally bought. I'm off to see if I can get another packet of yarn at a good price.

Very nice! I'm going to try a bamboo batting in my Polka Dot Girls. It will be interesting to see if I notice a difference or not.
I like the drape of bamboo, too. And the Sirdar isn't splitty like some, either. You've got a pretty pink top there!
I love the sheen and drape of bamboo. The ruffle is gorgeous!
Oh, I love it! What nice serendipity. I just finished a merino/bamboo blend sweater, and I really, really love it.
That's a really cute top. I'll have to try bamboo. I've never paid much attention to it.
What a beautiful ruffle! The color is so pretty too!
This is so pretty. I love the ruffle and I love the drape of bamboo too.
