A Worthy Pattern for a Worthy Yarn

I spun this gorgeous, scrumptious merino I bought from a craft store in Denmark called Majestic Merinos a while back and spun it as a two ply into one reasonably large skein and then set it aside because I didn't want to waste it on anything shabby. 

I remembered a pattern in one of my Spin-Off magazines for a lovely yet simple scarf. Since I tend to despise scarfs that are just one long strip of mindlessly boring knitting this pattern had the attraction of a small wedge being knit on each side as you went back and forth over the scarf. Perfect! And it only took me three days to do it!

I used upthe whole skein and it looks so good! Feels great too! Now all I need is to get another project up and running. I've still got that alpaca and wool combo to use up!

Happy knitting :)

Finally, some of my Handspun!

I've had all the fibre club fibres from EGMTK's spun up and waiting to be used for ages but since most of them were only about 100g worth it's been difficult thinking of what to turn them into. At least I've finally created something with the fibre "Canopy", 50% Polwarth and 50% Bamboo. A small scarflette called "Pimpelliese"

Probably one of the nicest shawl/scarf patterns I've knit to date! The lace edge is incorporated into the actual scarf so tyou don't have to sew it on after, making it a lovely single piece of fabric with no inhibiter to it's stretch by unnecessary seams.
I washed and blocked it, the points came out lovely and the colours are really pretty. Feels great on and looks great. Very happy :)




Happy Knitting :)
