Irish Hiking Scarf
Remember that scarf I finished for the Squad's favorite barkeep?
Well, here it is.
Ah. My mis-adventures in self portraitography continue....
And a close up peek.
Irish Hiking Scarf
Pattern: Of Hello Yarn fame. It can be found here.
Yarn: Berrocco Ulta Alpaca in Heathered Green, about 1 and a half skeins.
Needles: US8 metal circulars
Recipient: Alan, the kind gent who slings the booze we heart so dear.
Of course, I failed to get a pic of Alan wearing it. He was swamped at the bar, so I didn't want to burden him. 'Tis a shame, really - for he's a dashing silver haired fellow whom we all adore. I'm glad to say the gift went over well! We've been promising that guy a scarf for months. It was about time we delivered. :)
In other news, the Squad has new online digs! I'm still working on setting up a gallery and the bio page, but feel free to take a peek! We can now be found at www.scissorsquad.com. How hot is that? Very.
Oh! And I updated zee shop with some new rovings. The silk is almost gone (oh, how I wanted to keep it all to myself. drool.....) but there are some other lovelies still available. I love it when stuff sells right away! I needed the encouragement after being so laaaaaaazy about poor Fiberfly the last two months!
