Brooks Farm Yarn. If you have ever had the good fortune to handle some of it, just the name alone will cause an "AHHHHH" to involuntarily escape your lips. Brooks Farm Yarn was my weekend.
The last we saw my own personal BFY, it looked a bit like this
~Imagine a scarf here. I cannot upload the picture right now for some reason. I will try again later. Hrmph. Imagine hard, you can do it! It's a scarf. It does not look as good as the one below. ~
Saturday afternoon I got an idea. I liked the scarf, but I didn't LIKE IT, LIKE IT, if you know what I mean. I needed something else. But what? The idea crept in , you know, like a cat trying to get some tuna. Branching Out Scarf From knitty.
So I did. Who am I to argue with the knitter within?
Susan has created a great pattern. If you are looking for a lace pattern that won't blow the top of your head off, this is it. If you are a thinking of doing your first lace project but get overwhelmed at the thought, this is the pattern for you. If you want something pretty, do it.
Saturday night found my family happily in front of the TV watching the movie Fever Pitch which I thought was an enjoyable movie for all. For me, a wonderful love story. For the hubby Andy, a trip down memory lane for the Red Sox winning the World Series. He even commented that he had seen Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore jumping around celebrating on the field when the Red Sox had won and he did not know why they were there. Now he knows! I don't want to spoil the ending for you, but the Red Sox Win.
The beginning of a new week. Let's make it a good one, shall we?

I love the colors in that yarn. They remind me just a little of Buffalo Brownski! :-)

Ah . . . Brooks Farm Yarn. I made a shawl out of that last spring and loved every minute of it. The colors. The feel. The softness. Its only drawback, so far as I'm concerned, is that it sheds. I'm thinking now that I really owe it to myself to check out their Four Play yarn . . .

How can knowing that the Rox win the World Series ruin anything...? Just even typing "Sox win the World Series" makes me happy all over again. Anyway, Fever Pitch is on my NetFlix list, but lace still scares me... :)

That scarf has been on my "to do" list for months. I even bought some yarn for it at NH Sheep & Wool last May. Nice, soft stuff from Green Mountain Spinnery. You have inspired me to get going on this. Yours is lovely!

oooh! I started that scarf in fuzzy red (very red) mohair a few weeks ago. It is a great pattern. Here's mine:

I'll probbaly do another in a thicker yarn when this one is finished.

hi Sandy! You read my mind -- I have some leftover BFY from the Diamond Stole I made in August and was planning on making the Branching Out scarf too! Your's is so beautiful. Can you save me a swatch and let me know what size needles you're using!? Thanks Sandy.

Lovely BFY! I've got some in my stash too.
A good week? I'm in!

Looks beautiful, Sandy.
And of course the Red Sox win; just like they're going to win this year, too!! Bring on the White Sox.
