I have finished my scarf.

[camwyn]

It is made of Rowan Kid Classic in Bear colour, with accents at both ends in Berocco Metallic FX in Copper/Black. It's long- it wraps twice around my neck and still has plenty of dangle- and about five inches wide, since I like narrow scarves more than wide ones. I blocked it with the iron to deal with the tendency of stockinette to curl, even when the edges are done in a nice flat stitch like seed. when I get the chance I'll scan some of this and put it on the Web to be seen. Next up: work on my sister's alpaca scarf, probably in the False Entrelac pattern, and also the Knitted Triangle Shawl in Lion Brand's Trellis.

oceansong told me last night that I am a yarnie the way other people are foodies. I would normally object, saying I am also something of a foodie (ask the people at the Culinary Arts and Hospitality offices at County College of Morris) and am quite happy to knit with acrylic if it suits the task to hand, but then again I am knitting a hat in part-qiviut yarn and spent the better part of an hour fussing over exactly what yarn fiber would tell my sister 'look, this is lovely, and lo, it is not weird!' best. So... yeah, yarnie.

ka_crow, I haven't forgotten you. I've got the recycled sari silk ready to go for a hat as soon as I determine how many stitches I need to cast on to my circular needle, since it's not exactly a standard-thickness yarn and has a weird gauge.
