Catching up on all those knitted items that I haven’t yet shown off . . . this pretty little lacy number was a particularly happy finish! Scarves knit with fingering weight yarn, I suspect, DO tend to evoke happiness upon completion–not so much as they’re being knit, though. This one seemed like it took me a little bit longer then for-EVER, but once I bound off and slung it around my neck, it seemed so, so worth it. I could even imagine knitting the same scarf in the same yarn again.

This lovely is, of course, the Lace Ribbon Scarf, knit using Chasing Rainbows Dyeworks merino/tencel sock yarn, a yarn I would definitely recommend. All in all, I’d chalk this project up to success!

And thank goodness for finished scarves, since it is already FREEZING here in Philadelphia–um . . . can someone please, please tell me me which crack Fall slipped into when I wasn’t looking? Winter is already here, friends. Stay warm!

I promised you I’d have something finished next time I posted, and I’d hate to disappoint, so here it is . . . a very finished (even blocked!) perfectly perfect scarflet for fall. My sock knitting mojo is certainly disappearing more + more quickly these days, and I’m newly obsessed with knitting any + all types of neck warmers. Shawls, scarves, cowls, they’re all good. This little scarf was a pleasure to knit . . . an easy, but engaging lace pattern + the most wonderful yarn in a gorgeous, verdant shade of fall. And it only took one skein of yarn to make a wonderful neck wrap, so it took no time at all to knit up! This little number is highly recommended + I can see myself knitting more of these scarflets in the future. The very near future.

And speaking of fall, I’ve been hard at work making some new little fall goodies for the s h o p to celebrate the most perfectly perfect time of year! They should be ready very soon + I’ll be sure to let you know when they are! Until then, you can sneak a peek here.
