Whilst my toddlers napped away, I cast on for the Fern Lace Scarf. The original pattern had 56 stitches in lace weight. It would be nice to make it a little more wider, but I don't have much yarn. I'd rather have a long narrow scarf than a wide short one, so I only cast on 28 stitches (24 stiches for one pattern repeat with 2 stitches worth of garter edging on either side). I hope it reaches a decent length. The skein is only 175m. Wonder how much length that will give me?
I must confess that the alpaca-silk-merino blend is yummy--so incredibly soft (heaven help us if I get addicted to this stuff!) And I absolutely love the warmth of the hand-crafted birch needles.
