Yarn Ho
So I'm almost done with the front of Skully. It's going to add ten pounds to my frame, but it's going to be warm and cozy and way cool. So I was in the car, hiding out from the maids, and I got to an instruction I didn't quite understand.
Fortunately, in my knitting bag I had a skein of Misti Alpaca, my copy of Scarf Style and a pair of Brittany #6's that had conveniently just relinquished my mom's Going to Italy Scarf. What's a girl to do?
Holymarymotherofgod. This stuff is SO FREAKING SOFT. It just takes my breath away. I just want to rub it all over me. Oh, wait. Stop. Stick head in freezer. Breathe. Okay, drawbacks. It's a little splitty. I can live with that. Never mind. I'm in love.
Okay, here's my mom in her new scarf. It's fingering-weight Claudia and some Kidsmack Haze.
And here's dad, modeling my old Happiest Scarf on Earth (feather-and-fan stitch with some Artfibers Kyoto). He thought it was a little girly, but I thought it was way cosmopolitan. Just the thing for Italy.

Mom looks very happy. Good job. I can't wait to see what you have done on the new scarf. That Misti Alpaca is so wonderful, and I don't even know anything about yarn.
