birthdays

happy belated birthday bex~ i know its a bit late~ i hope you like it!

the goods: 1 skein aysen by araucania (70% merino wool, 20% alpaca, 10% silk)
824 pink red
needle: us 10

pattern: elizabeth's wool- angora diagonal scarf from luxury yarn one skein wonders
its shorter than the pattern calls for because i did not have the necessary yardage but the length doesn’t seem to make much difference. i wish i could get a better photo of the colors in the yarn, its quite beautiful and warm & so soft.

get ready for the crawl...

woohoo. this is the week for the best little yarn crawl in texas. sadly it is the same weekend as ACL but i will endeavor.  :) lots of great shops in austin....
i bought my passport this past weekend from yarnivore. in addition to getting this bag i ended up buying some angora wool for a sweater for miss scarlett. the pattern came from the book i bought there~ dogs in knits by judith swartz. looking forward to a scarlett sweater soon!
