Cashmere anyone?

Cashmere

A few weeks ago at the NH Sheep & Wool festival I was on a mission.  The only thing on my list of things to purchase was more of the scrumptious cashmere roving that I had purchased there the year before.

Bypassing row after row of beautiful fiber, I went on the search for the vendor who had sold me the cashmere.  Imagine my dismay when she was nowhere to be found :(.  I was totally bummed out!  Once we returned home however, I thankfully found  my catalog from the year before and was able to track her down.  4 little bags of roving arrived on my doorstop last week…yay!

Currently I am working on Brambler and am about 1/3 of the way finished.  This will be my last scarf for a little while once I finish. 

Of all the Little Nothing Scarves, this one is probably the easiest of all.  Anyone new to lace and looking for something to learn on…this scarf is it.  Very very easy and with the heavier yarn it works up quickly. 🙂

I have a few fiber things I want to concentrate on once I am finished with this scarf.  I need to finish up a few pair of socks, dig out my sewing machine, catch up on some spinning and then finally I hope to settle back into working on Bee during summer evenings.  Bee has been ever patient sitting in my basket and it is time for her to have a little more attention again 🙂

I hope by finishing up some loose ends, I can simplify my life a bit. 🙂

  1. The closest I’ve come to knitting a lace scarf was the Clapotis, but I have some skeins of KnitPicks’ Palette that may wind up in one. Bramble is very pretty.

  2. Brambler is beautiful and in that deep colour it looks so dramatic. I’ll look forward to more pictures of your Bee stole, too, which I realy adore, especially in your Tupelo Honey colourway; I would love to make it but feel I need more practice with easier lace first, which I hope to gain on the Little Nothing scarves I have ordered. Is Bee very complicated or does it just look that way?

  3. I’ve got several of these guys queued and yarn acquired. Will make Brambler out of Tigerlilith’s Cashmere/silk. But that ‘Twilight’ Opulence of yours is mighty tempting! What a gorgeous colorway!
    That cashmere roving is yummy!

  4. Is that cashmere roving actually such a lovely taupe color as it appears in the photo? Taupe is a wonderful color for me, and soooo hard to find.
    Enough to make me get a spinning wheel!
