scaruffle time!
I knit up another item from Knitter's Book of Yarn. Bess Haile's Scaruffle. It was a wonderful way to use up that single skein of lacey kid mohair!!
This is Karabella Gossamer. I didn't follow the pattern exactly.. but that is all the operator's fault, not the designer's fault. I used US4, US10s, and US13s. The pattern uses the 4s and then 11s.. but I didn't have 11s in wood. So I went with the 10s.. but let me tell you.. I felt like I was going to be knitting forever and a day on 10s.. So I grabbed my 13s (in wood) and kept going. You can barely tell that I changed anything and I like the lacey look on the edges. I got this yarn for my birthday. I wouldn't say this is yarn I would have picked out for myself.. It has too much glitter for me to pick it out. But I will tell you working with this yarn was an absolute dream!! I wore it the next day to work and it kept me warm in my sub-zero cubical without putting on an extra sweater (like I usually do!) Now I want one in every color!
