a little bit of knitting

(since this is a knitting blog, too)

First, socks. Plain 3 x 3 rib. Plain foot, dull (dutch?) heel, maybe a star toe. I';; see. The yarn bowl was a gift from Barbara Bretton - it's a perfect size for a ball of yarn! (Thank you!) I'm enjoying Foreign Correspondence (a Ravelry readalong) and wondering what my childhood pen-friends are doing these days --




















Next, the Yarn Harlot's one-row scarf in Zen Yarn Garden/Art Walk yarn, "Flaming June" colourway. I didn't like the sock I knitted with this yarn, but it's working perfectly for this scarf pattern. In fact, I have yet to meet a yarn that didn't like this pattern.



















Finally, two ribbed, slotted scarves. I think I'm addicted to this pattern.

Miss Marple scarf exchange

Caitlin, how can I thank you?
Here are a few of the wonderful things she gave me.


First, a cobweb scarf: a hint of lavender string and air.









Next, a silver goddess brooch that I had been admiring at Larjmarj's Etsy shop. The original description cracked me up - a goddess with a semiprecious hoo-ha. Caitlin and Larjmarj knit together, and I am oh, so jealous!















And finally, a toy that has been appropriated by my bunny. Be very afraid.


Thank you, dear, lovely friend.
