Lace Scarf



I just finished this lace scarf using the yarn I won at the North Country Fiber Fair about a month ago. I also won a pattern, but I really wanted to use my own pattern "Reversible Lace Scarf" and see how it worked with lace yarn. This is a lace-weight merino used double-stranded. It's a combination of pinks, browns and little yellow. Despite all the holes, it's will be warm, soft and snuggly - not at all itchy.

Quivit



A few years ago, a friend dropped off a bag of cleaned quivit at my office. What a gift! Not only was it quivit - but she'd picked and washed it too! It has sat in the bag it arrived in hooked on to my spinning wheel until this past week. Now look at it!

About a week ago, I fixed the drive band on my wheel and found the "10 Minutes A Day" site on Ravelry. I can't just spin for 10 minutes, it's usually for the duration of whatever I'm watching on television or the pile of fleece in my lap.

This skein is 396 yards of lace weight/2ply/16 wpi, weighing in at a little over 4 ounces. I'm thinking scarf - stay tuned!
