And without further ado...here is my Sweetgrass scarf in progress...
Isn't she pretty! It is made from my handspun...a mix of wool and silk. The resulting yarn is a bit rustic looking but with a really nice strong yet soft feeling to it. The pattern is the Seattle Bloom scarf which is found in the Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders book. I love this book, it is where I also got the pattern for my Lettuce Slide scarf. My handspun is thicker than sock yarn but I don't mind a wider scarf. Not after last winter that is for sure. In any event, I love the subtle striping of the scarf. I'm knitting with my handspun so I can have more samples at my sale tables in the future. Like that is a hardship. smile...I love knitting with my handspun. Although I'm not sure about the yardage, according to the pattern it needed 400 yards. I had about 440 yards and I left out two repeats, one for chart A and then the corresponding repeat in chart B. Hopefully that will be enough, since I do not have more roving. But that is me, always living on the knitting world edge! Stay tuned.
