Fancy!

While visiting my old haunt in London, I came across a new yarn by Koigu: Fancy Merino. It is a nice soft boucle with the handpainted colouring of koigu, and it is very reasonably priced.

It looks great. Somehow even the back of the futon looks great, I thought you had some new books. But it is a great design idea. I have all lengths of scarves and I like short ones as well.

Necessity is the mother of invention! If we don't tuck in the throw it slides down as soon as we sit on the futon :)

I like a long scarf also, but they are a little more casual, and I wanted a more fancy scarf in the end. I think it will look very different with fringe. Perhaps a knotted fringe?

Knotted fringes are lovely. I think you should go for that.
My sideways garter scarf was done with 250 st and it's as tall as I am. I think that short scarves can be very useful and easier to manage. Plus the fringe will give it added length.

After 7 days of knitting socks I have a matching dent on my right finger.

Socks socks socks socks!

I need to get something cast on... I have nothing on the go right now, knit-wise! Mittens, I suppose.

You must be so close to finishing your Christmas knitting. Think how amazing it will be to knit just for you :)

You gonna be in town on Thursday? I need a good dose of Heather!

We are planning on coming down Wednesday afternoon, probably to Dashwood, then I am working Thursday evening, all Friday, and Saturday. If you want me for a night, that could be arranged ;)

I am actually getting excited about the sleeves for York. It would be nice to wear it to holiday parties, etc.

We'll have to talk later. Right now I can't process anything.
