Yarn Art isn't a very popular book for several reasons (mainly the lousy photography and lack of charts), so I thought I'd post a pic of the Gladys scarf from the book.

See, the book has lousy photography. But it's a really pretty scarf when you can actually see it.

Here's my 2nd go so far:

I'm 2 and a bit repeats into the centre section.

You wil notice that my scarf isn't white. Or laceweight...

I changed my mind :-)

I'm using Karabella Aurora 8 which is a worsted weight merino made from 16 plies (!!!). Lovely stuff, I hope it blocks well. I suspect it won't because it's very bouncy but I don't care. I'll also be changing the edging to spomething very simple because I think the original one is a bit fussy for me and I won;t have enough yarn anyway.

And I guess from now on I should call it the Gladys "stole".

I think one of the fewbenefits of feeling crook is that you can rationalise doing nothing but knitting all day. Especially since we've already tidied up and put all our stuff in storage for the first open-house inspection on the weekend. And the real estate agent said we can run away and hide, which is fine with me (right after I hide anything that will fit in a pocket)...
