joy
and grace
in simplicity
in basics
in making
in creating something purely from the work of my hands, my heart and my head
enough of the zen - my first finished object made from my very own hand spun.
Every lump
every bump
every irregularity
it's mine
and I made it
the Yarn Harlot's One Row Handspun Scarf
5.5mm needles
" knit until you run out of yarn"
this took about 214 metres
started knitting on tuesday [ march 18]
finished this morning and then washed and blocked
the yarn is slightly underspun in places so it's very soft and cushy [ but may pill like buggery but you can't have everything]
congratulations - well done! the colour is beautiful - very you :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. You will have to watch it.....I may start knitting or crochet again and you may not
ReplyDeleteinherit so much wool.
Lovely photos of your three treasures.
that's such a great pattern, isn't it? You just can't go wrong. Yours is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely warm looking scarf :D
ReplyDeleteHeck, wish my spinning were as lumpy, bumpy and irregular as that! That's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWell Done! (clapping gleefully!)
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous to me!
I do enjoy that stitch pattern - it always comes out wonderfully. And your own handspun yarn makes it even more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNice job, Susan!
Nice! It's snowing again here, so you can email me all the scarves you want to. :)
ReplyDeletegreat idea for a lazy kate! I might just have to make one of those scarves too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very lovely! You did good!
ReplyDeleteSimply getting to see the scarf creation at its various stages is very satisfying. There's something primal about it.
ReplyDeletebee-yoo-tee-ful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, what a wonderful sense of accomplishment you must have.
It really is a pretty amazing thing to be able to say, "I made this." And really, really mean it! Lovely job on the scarf!
