It is so neat to see it go from fiber to yarn to scarf! And you have the world's most patient cat, surely, not to put claw on scarf while modeling. Very nice!
Very pretty! Simple patterns, but your results are stunning!
Wooowie. Handspun and handknit! Great colors!
Beautiful -- and I love the funky fringe on the first one :-)
Fringe is so much fun. Remind me to add it to all of my scarves from now on! Also, I've just begun trying to spin merino for the first time and I'm really struggling. Do you have any tips, spinning yogi?
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!
Beautiful scarves!
I love it when handspun is used in a really simple pattern, because a simple pattern just shows off the yarn that much better. Your scarves are the perfect example of this!
So pretty! You're making me want another handspun scarf! I really like the fringe too, it's hard to have enough fringe in your life.
Love the colors! That second one brings out the color in Bug's eyes. :D
Aw your blog posts always make me laugh out loud! Love the scarves!
The scarves show off the handspun so beautifully - lovely work!
Both lovely. Bug suits the second one best!
I swear to God, Bug has the patience of a saint. I don't know what Scully would do if I wrapped him up. I'd like to think he'd sit there, but I'm thinking he might rip my eyes out. haha
BEautiful work ... as always.
Your handspun is gorgeous! You're an inspiration. :)
Don't you have the sweetest cat a knitter could have?! So cute too!
And the scraves are fantastic!
I think Bug is stealing the spotlight in these pictures! The scarves look fabulous. We miss you at craft night!
I confess that I love making up captions for Bug in your photos. All I could think of for the second set was "I vant to be alone" in a Marlene Dietrich sort of way...
They are both gorgeous, and Bug as usual just adds to the effect of lush handknitting. :)
Are you a super-speedy knitter? I'd be weeks and weeks on US size 4s.
Your model is beautiful!
Well done on both projects! And heh - I think the very last photo is my favorite. :-)
