Surprises, knitting ones and otherwise

The Red Emperor scarf seems to be on hiatus. I was surprised by the way in which the Aestlight Shawl grabbed my attention. I completed Light and Crusty in 3 days. It is currently blocking and an FO post follows soon. Brace yourselves, though – there are now two more Aestlights on the needles!

Read on for more surprises.

Fo: Fernfrost Scarf

I think that I may be addicted to Anne Hanson’s “Little Nothing” scarves. Here’s the latest – Fernfrost. Knitted in heavy lace weight cashmere from Colourmart.

Fo: Roger’s Homespun Hat

I met a man at the Sanday Show this year. We spoke of this and that. We admired the sheep. He told me that while he was on holiday here he would like to buy a hat. His ideal hat would be hand-woven or hand-knitted from handspun yarn originating from a local fleece.

This is Roger’s Handspun Hat
