Feather and Fern Lace Scarf

For all of my fans out there who are clamoring for another post....here is a quick one before the weekend.  I have some more ideas.  I have discovered that I enjoy starting projects more than slogging through to completion.  This was starting to become a problem from a space point of view so I have resolved to not start any new....well maybe just a few.....but not many.....projects until I have completed some of the outstanding UFO's (Unfinished Objects).  This scarf has joined the ranks of Finished Objects and I have posted it on ebay for the next week if anyone is interested.  It is knitted in a Feather and Fern Lace Pattern and the yarn used is an 80-30 blend of wool and silk.  This photo washed out the colours.  It is darker than it looks here.  Perfect with blues or denims and there is a natural cream and taupe color also so it would be nice with browns.  This was a really smart little kit that I purchased several years back from Bilby Yarns in Perth, my favorite local source of supplies for weavers and spinners.  June Lynn is the proprietress and she is the city depot for the WA Melanian Sheep Breeders Society.  She has a website but it doesn't completely reflect everything that she carries so it is best to ring her with any queries.  A visit is even better but take your banker with you!  You will want one of everything!
