On Swapping.
I love this scarf, and I think the idea of a yarn/book/stash swap is fun, but I think this will be my first and last finished-knitted-object swap. It's stressful for me to knit for someone I don't know. Anyway, it was fun, and it's off!
Pattern: Road Not Taken from A Fine Fleece: Knitting with Handspun Yarns (a very cool book from Potter Craft).
Yarn: Schaefer Anne: 60% Merino, 25% Mohair, 15% Nylon. I can't find the tag to tell you the colourway. It might be Napa Harvest.
Needles: US 8 straights. (I almost never use straights, but circs didn't make sense to me for a scarf).
On Weaving.
I had a fabulous time at my Beginning Weaving and Beyond class/retreat, taught by Tom Jipson at Harrisville Designs in Harrisville, NH. I plan a major blog about it this weekend! I need to take some more photos of my improving selvages and wobbly zig-zags though. There was wine. There was chocolate. There were people who completely understand and don't raise eyebrows when fiberishness is discussed for hours at a time. As Linda L. said, we were with our "Peeps." Tromp as Writ Y'All!
