Ooooh, pretty! The pink looks fabbo on you, too. You'll be the envy of all the other frozen hockey mums. :)
ReplyDeleteOOh, lucky duck! What a gorgeous scarf! It looks nice and soft and lovely.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd replied, but hey, not so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad it got there OK, thanks for being patient about my timing.
The cashmere yarn is simply *gorgeous* to knit with, it's completely pettable. Everyone who saw it in progress immediately wanted it! I think it's a nice weight for the Australian winter, as it's nice and soft and light, but still warm. If you want, we can arrange a yarn swap for Australian yarn for more o' the cashmere! ;-)
I'm completely addicted to washcloths now, they're instant gratification knitting. I'm absolutely spoiled by the cotton I can get here, great big cones directly from the manufacturer. I can't remember if I put the patterns in there. If I didn't, and you'd like them, just give me a shout, and I'll email them to you.
