Faina is finished

I have finished the Faina's Scarf out of my home spun. Here it is:

Pattern: Faina's Scarf from Fiber Trends
Wool: Rust color from MS&W, <8 oz, 2 ply
Needles: KnitPick Options, size 4
Size: 12"x61"

Since I finished something I decided to start something new. This is a Christmas present for a family party. I am using Wool Ease since it will then be machine washable. The hat is from a free KnitPicks pattern and the scarf is the Tiny Bamboo pattern from the Vogue Stitchinary vol 1.


I have also joined the Spring Shawl Surprice (a yahoo group). The pattern will be over 8 clues and complicated. The designer is using the KnitPicks bare in laceweight. I had 1 skein, but to make sure I had enough I needed to order a second, so I was able to buy yarn for a sweater as well. I am not going to pay shipping on something that actually comes from across town. I wish local pick-up was a delivery choice.
