Estonian Garden Scarf
Here goes with my first Pink Tea posting...
I finished the Estonian Garden Scarf, designed by Evelyn Clark for Fiber Trends, about 3 weeks ago. It was a 60th birthday present for my sister-in-law Kathy, who is a fabulous needlepointer and has also started knitting some beautiful Norwegian style sweaters. I used the soft pink Rowan KidSilk Haze, and it used about 1-1/2 balls.
I have also been spinning some New Zealand roving in a periwinkle color and some dyed Merino roving and plying them together to make my first yarn. It has some lumps and bumps, but I am determined to make enough to knit a short jacket for the fall. Here are the first skeins I deemed to be acceptable:
That's it for now!

Posted by: Karen on July 29, 2004 12:14 AMThat scarf is stunning. I don't know whether it makes me want to knit one or throw my needles down in shame.
