Just a quick post today, to show you this really quick scarf I knitted this week. I treated myself to some rather posh wool; a blend of merino and silk from Uruguay. Let's not burden Marathon Runner with how much it cost. (Shh, I don't think I have ever spent so much on one skein of wool!)
It knitted up so quickly, that I thought I would knit another one for a friend whose birthday is on Tuesday. I had some fluffy wool, bought years ago for heavens knows what, but after two attempts and LOTS of knots, I think I am going to give up. Not only is it very hard to see the pattern, it is absolutely impossible to back-track if you make a mistake and very easy to knit bits of fluff instead of the actual stitch. So she won't be getting a scarf for her birthday.
Back to the drawing board but with only just over 24 hours to go!
Anyway, this is turning into a longer post than anticipated but just have to show you this:
Can you see the bee? Today I cut the grass for the first time this year. I can't believe that it is nearly Easter already! Chocolate here I come ...
That is a gorgeous lacy scarf! I wish I could knit but have trouble holding the two needles plus wrapping the wool around! I cut the grass for the first time last week. Good job really as today it is pouring with rain and not at all springlike!!! x
ReplyDeleteRockin'! Do you ever sell stuff on etsy? My wife is addicted to etsy (as a buyer, though).
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd be able to handle owning such a nice scarf. I'd just end up dunking it in my soup on accident and then feeling sad for the rest of the month.
