Okay, that was weird, I wrote a post and then it was gone!

Very strange!

I’ve finished the lace scarf, I wish I could show it to you . . . perhaps soon. I’m still working on getting a camera, DH isn’t convinced I “need” one! We shall see about that!

Anyway, I had brought the scarf with me over the weekend while we were away. I finished knitting the yarn I had and decided it wasn’t quite long enough so I spun up another 65 yards or so of the yarn and kept going. Yesterday I finished that yarn, wove in the ends and blocked it out. The finished size is 8 x 60 which seems like a good size for a light, lacey decorative scarf. It isn’t “artic wear” but should be a nice accent piece over a good wool coat.

Now I’m working on spinning up some merino/silk blend for another one. I’m looking at a different stitch pattern for this next one but think it will also be a lace scarf. I’d like to come up with 3-5 good patterns for lace scarves to be knit in roughly the same size yarn. I’m also playing with different fiber combinations. I saw a lovely silk/cashmere blend that could be quite yummy!

I’m also looking at getting the dye pots out agains soon, I’ve got a couple of ideas I want to try out. . . some colors that keep showing up that I think need to find their way into some yarn ;)

I’m also working on a bigger, more long term project, but at the moment it’s “top secret” so I can’t really say much about it. What I can say is, “This is going to be so much fun and I can’t wait to tell you all about it” so stay tuned for pictures soon and the unveiling of the secret project!

Now I’m off to do a bit of reasearch ;)
