Mom and Great Gran discovered a new yarn store. They found it when they were in desperate need of more Fixation – you know, for the Sock Frenzy that has seized the two of them since they went to Mary Esther for the summer. The “Yarn Garden” doesn’t carry Fixation, but they did get some of Brown Sheep’s Handpaint Originals to make scarves (Great Gran was making her own and Mom was making one for me).

Mom neglected to check the label (70% Mohair and 30% Wool) and started itching the minute she cast on. So I get to make my own scarf and Hooray for wool allergies!

This yarn is scrumptious, and so nice and shiny and fuzzy and bright! Lorien carries it in about a million colorways (and at such a great price!). My scarf is in “Sunbaked Earth” which has olive, orange, bright blue, maroon and brown. I feel the yarn deserves more than a boring old garter stitch, so I am making the whole thing in a purse stitch (*YO, K2tog, rep from * on all rows) that really shows off the yarn. I think I need a matching hat.

This scarf would go much faster if I would stop spreading it out to look at the colors.

mmm…pretty colors

I couldn’t stand it, M wouldn’t get out the digital camera so I threw it on the scanner. The orange makes me happy every time it comes around.

PS The needles are Bakelite. Wish they still made ’em like they used to.
