And some fun and easy knitting...

I'm obsessed with the Yarnery's Malabrigo linen stitch scarf - these are scarves #2 and #3. I've made two from kits, the third is just a mix of Malabrigo that I picked out to go together - more jewel tones. And I just ordered the Yarnery's NEW kit in a springy colorway - should be able to make a trip down to the TC to pick it up in a couple of weeks.  I think I will actually try the twisted fringe for the next one.

And another Seyfert?!

Crystal Palace Yarns - Mochi Plus 

In the meantime, I've started on a new project... stay tuned, it's going to be one of the most complicated knitting projects I've done in a while.

Thank You's

A lot of people have done nice/supportive things for me over the last few weeks, so I've finally gotten around to making some thank you notes and completing a little thank you knitting...
