Ah, blended families. They get so complicated sometimes.

I just finished knitting yet another scarf! There isn't much to do when you have to keep your house constantly tidy because you're trying to sell it (boring), and have put most of your things in storage. This one is an angora rabbit blend of anonymous lineage that I bought several years ago from Aaron of the Yarn Barn in West Coburg. Unfortunately I've never been to the Yarn Barn, I bought this from Aaron at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show. I used 5.5mm needles, 30 stitches, and a plain k3, p3 rib. The finished scarf is about 12 centimetres wide when relaxed and 7-ish feet long. I haven't measured it, I just kept knitting until I ran out of yarn. I had tried fisherman's rib, which looked gorgoeus but I thought I'd run out of yarn since fisherman's rib uses so much more than regular rib. I really love this yarn! It's gorgeously soft, barely sheds at all and I really want some more in other colours. I guess I'll have to make a pilgrimage before we move. Or after. Probably after, since I really want to use up the stash...

AND...

I hated my miser's purse, so I fixed it.

Now I like it. I found the silver rings (which were literally right in front of me the whole time), and reattached the tassels so they weren't hanging down all loose and pathetic looking.

My next project is going to be a scarf. Hey, what can I say, I'm on a roll!

I'm going to be using some Aussie 2 ply handpainted wool from Wendy Dennis (I think it's merino but I lost the label years ago), in blues and purples and I'm going to knit a long rectangular scarf using this stitch:

and I think I'll add a knitted on plain garter stitch border in order to keep the elasticity needed to block the birdseye pattern properly. It'll either look really cool, or like a ratty old table runner.

:-P

Time will tell.
