Arrivals

Yesterday the postman arrived with the goodies for making my scarf. I'd waited to order until I got my pal assignment so I could be sure she'd like what I had in mind. I'm glad I did that as I've gone for something totally different that what I'd planned. I've knit with this yarn before and really enjoyed it. I know most folks like the Kid Silk Haze but next to this that stuff feels hard and course and the Karabella Lace Mohair is just like knitting a cloud.

Since the pacakages arrived early enough in the day I was able to run out to my LYS and pick up the appropriate needles and cast on right away. My lace skills must be improving as I have made it through chart A with absolutely no ripping out. I chose multi-colored beads that remind me of the sea and so far I really like them.
