Spin A Yarn for Ewe

I started the scarf yesterday for the swap and it is moving along. I decided to not ball the yarn as I didn't want to smash the flowers again so I have it on my swift leaving me feeling very tied to my knitting. Literally. Here is what we have so far.



I just went with a simple knit a few rows then do a YO, K2tog row. I think it looks nice and my pal said she wanted it to be functional as well as funky so I think this fits the bill. It is also very soft even the flowers.



Close up you can see the beads scattered throughout the knitting too. I plan to just knit until the yarn is all gone and hope that it is long enough.

I finally broke down and ordered some of those KnitPicks needles. I am using them on this project and really like them. I can see more tips in the future as I already bought all the cord sizes. Maybe by then they will of put the sizes on the tips themselves as that is my only complaint so far.

My cones of silk from Webs are also here so I see a dyeing party coming on. I plan to dye the silk to match the roving for the beaded yarns. Should be fun to see how it turns out.
