Scarf

Although the weather has been very hot here I have been working on winter stock.  I keep reminding myself it will get cool again and even cold.  This is a raspberry pink neck scarf with a scarf brooch. The yarn is hand spun and hand dyed merino so very soft.

First Market for 2014

Today with shearing finished I'm getting ready for the market at the Arts Centre on Sunday.  I have dyed some aran yarn and also some sock yarn.

Over the holidays I have also been knitting scarves.  This pink and gold mix is always a popular colour mix. I'm off to the studio now to make some scarf pins for smaller neck scarves.

Tonight's Knitting

I feel like knitting something colourful.

I found some textured and chunky yarns and put them in a box.  Have lots to do today so scarf knitting will have to wait until tonight. However I have cast on so all is ready to go.  Must finish some children's hats and take photos.  Then some spinning and weaving.  That's enough on the list today.

Scarf Time

I have been spinning, dyeing yarn and making scarves lately.  This is a "Neck Scarf".  A shorter style scarf with a brooch. The scarf can be worn in a few differnt styles using the brooch to keep the scarf in place.

Mothers Day Market at Arts Centre

The Arts Centre is always a busy place on Mothers Day.  The Mothers Day Classic run and walk takes place early and then the participants and families wander enjoying a coffee and browsing the market.

Weather is getting colder so I have been busy making hats and scarves.

My Train Knitting

This scarf has been my train knitting of late. When so many commuters get out their lap tops and stare into space I get out my knitting. Sometimes on the way home the train feels too crowded to enjoy knitting. This scarf is a very compact project and I'm using circular needles so no chance of dropping a needle under the train seat. The yarn is Noro sock yarn.

Knitting Week

This is a scarf knitted lengthwise on circular needles. I used Chunky yarn, silk ribbon mohair and 8 ply yarn. All the yarns are hand dyed in mulberry, purples, blues and a touch of rust and light brown.
Have been wanting to knit a neck scarf for ages and finally finished this scarf. I used the softest hand spun grey wool from my sheep and added an orange/rust detail with buttonholes. In the button stash I found 2 perfect carved buttons. Plan the knit more of these scarves with different colour detail. This style of scarf is very warm.
