A tale of yarn

I love yarn.
I collect it.
I have storage containers filled with the stuff.
And for some reason, 
I feel the need to buy more!
Go figure.


This turned up yesterday...
along with some others.


It is currently becoming a scarf
and it is just the softest yarn to knit with.
It is beautiful.
The colour wasn't quite what I was expecting
but I still like it.  It's always a bit of a risk
buying from a picture.
Even my photo doesn't show the true colour.
It is a free patter from Cascade Yarns
and it is called Magic Rib.  The best part, you only have to memorise
one line of pattern as the the pattern repeats
every line!  Too easy.

  5. You should take part in the 12 hats in one year challenge. You would be able to use up the yarn, and make some accessories to go with your scarf!
