My Smidge is off the needles and ready to wear. Ready to wear if it ever gets cold enough . After the photo shoot I clawed it off my neck and flung across the room. Our temperatures are still in the 80's.
My thrifty "Pidge Wanna Be" was knit from three poufs or 30 grams of ACA Supreme 100% Pure Angora in the Pecan colorway. Thanks for the yarn Elizabeth. I still have three little bunny poufs left. I could make another scarf.
I used the "My So Called Scarf" stitch to simulate the originals stitch pattern, carefully keeping count because a mistake spelled DISASTER. Frogging angora ranks up there with frogging mohair, almost impossible. My choice of buttons changed. I love these old carved balls of ebony. The whole look reminds my of a little cartoon furry animal wrapped around my neck.
For those of you on Ravelry, there's the Smidge Along group that inspired me to knit this.
I'm down to four active projects on my needles. After having broken a self imposed yarn diet, I bought another 15 skeins of DB Cashmerino Aran in Navy, a bargain at $5.00 per ball. In my queue went Arwen. I am trying to stop twitching and diving for the needles. I promised my self DaCapo by Christmas!
The reason to stop shopping...
this is just what I dare display in full view...all the baskets are filled to the brim. I'd better stop blogging and start knitting!
