I'm Fluffy!
Here is a quick knit scarf (25 sts on size 13 needle, garter the whole way - whoopee!) that I made from a mohair/novelty yarn I bought from Myra (Fancy Image Yarn) at Gig Harbor. One ball (120 yds) produced all this fluff, which I think really sets off the beaded cuff. We are going out to dinner tonight, which is the occasion for getting dressed up. Going out to a nice dinner happens about once a year around here, so I am going to do it right!
My husband just saw me and his one comment was, "Are you going to finish the other cuff?" Sometimes the glass is just half empty, isn't it? I only have about 16 rows left on the second cuff, but I just don't feel the urgency to get it done before dinner, thank you very much!

Your cuffs are stunning! and I'm enjoying reading knitting blogs for the first time in my life.
Wanted to let you know that my web site is live (just this morning so we may not have worked out all the kinks yet) www.oneofsusannas.com
Best, Susanna
Posted by: Susanna Hansson on February 24, 2004 09:36 AMHey, welcome Susanna! The beaded cuffs are of Susanna's design, and the pattern was beautifully written. I have already bought more yarn and beads, and the current plan is for my nieces to be getting cuffs next Christmas. They are very fun and fast to knit - after the beads are strung!
