09.03.2008 :: 245. Charlotte Scarf

The Charlotte Scarf is done and waiting in the wings to have it's first wearing. According to this morning's chilly weather, it won't be long.
Pattern: Charlotte's Scarf from the Green Mountain Spinnery knitting Book, a wonderful book and a more wonderful scarf pattern
Yarn: Foxfire Cormo Silk yarn which is not being offered at this time (however there is some very promising cormo silk alpaca yarn that I will be looking at very closely when I go to Rhinebeck!)
Needle Size: US6
My thoughts: I can't express my love enough for this scarf. The yarn was heavenly to work with, making the knitting a pleasure. So much so that I am contemplating investing in a sweater's worth hof Foxfire yarn. The scarf was knit lengthwise which is not my favorite way to knit a scarf but it sure did seem to make this scarf a quick knit which I am sure was a figment of my imagination but it is what it is.

I wish you could reach through your screen and cop a bit of a feel of this scarf. You'd love it too, I'm sure. I'd insist that you rush over to foxfire and buy some of the yarn but I do want you to leave some for me. A girl needs her Rhinebeck stash!

Special note about Cookie: (It's not her birthday, just an unofficial Give Cookie Some Love Day) She is the most generous, giving, funny, complex, private, wonderful person I "know". I love her and I know you will too. (Don't tell her I love her though, she likes to act crabby and wouldn't like all this mushy stuff)
Here's to you, Cookie! ♥

Yuuuuummmmm, I hope you bring it this weekend. I don't think it'll be cool enough to wear it (though I am totally clueless about the weather forecast -- I've JUST BEEN SO OUT STRAIGHT!) but I want to cop a feel. And maybe will cast on for its twin this weekend. :D

No Cormo/silk? The scarf must feel heavenly! Doesn't everyone love Cookie?

Love the scarf! Be careful when you wear it, my Sandy. You don't want just anyone coping a feel. o.0

Lovely scarf! I'll let you in on a little something, I just knit a sample scarf for Barb out of that cormo/silk/alpaca and it is YUMMY! Make sure you get some at Rhinebeck.

Hi! Remember me? I'm back! I snapped a bunch of Saturday sky pictures while I was gone. I think Texas thought I was a little nutso talking about getting sky pictures for some chick named Sandy.
That Cookie is a wonderful little bird, isn't she?
