I’m not sure who’s to blame but I have a new addiction … it’s wool! Ever since I crocheted the ripple blanket I have found myself looking for something to do in the evenings, my fingers are literally twitching. I have even found myself on the net browsing woolly websites, joing woolly swaps.
Then last week I couldn’t stop myself from bidding on some lovely wool/silk blend balls over at Ebay and I won! The moment my parcel arrived I whipped it out and began asking myself what can I do with this, how long will it take? Well the results are in, I made a scarf … this week!!! Whatever’s next?
The scarf’s nice and thick, just the trick for going to work and watching the football on these cold and windy days. I just need to find myself a nice vintage hat pin to keep it closed. Mmmmm now I wonder if they sell them online…
It’s short and sweet today as I have loads to get done this weekend. Have a great one!

Hi. Happy Knitting! Lovely colours in the scarf.
I have not made much progress with my ripple. It is nearly 2m wide, so a row takes quite a while. I’ve a few knitting projects on the go too. I can’t resist starting new things, and a bit of variety is better for the muscles and joints, I believe.
Have a good weekend.

Beautiful looking Scarf Maddy. I Love the colours! Needlework is an addiction I confess, but a very happy one nonetheless!

My first reaction? Hahahahahaha.
Be very careful of eBay. It can become addictive, too. Oh, but some luxurios yarns, my girl.
As for the hat pin. There are some beautiful wooden pins that I found on the net. I have one to hold my ruana closed. The description said it could also be used to hold your hair up (the top is a leaf with two “sticks” that weave into the garment). I’m sure you’ll find the perfect thing.
Your scarf is beautiful and I think you chose the perfect color for you.
