It is a really simple scarf, but I don't have real knitting skillz
yet and I took forever to finish it. I have posted about it previously here and here, and now it's done! (Besides the blocking.) Hallelujah. It is nice to finish something.
I will however, miss that yarn. (Urban Gypz). I love knitting and crocheting with pretty much any yarn, because it is fun to be creative with color combos and textures and the like, HOWEVER, it is extra special nice to knit a handspun yarn. Working with it is an interaction with something that is already art.
It's an adventure seeing how the colors arrange themselves. I'm waiting to see my friend Adam next weekend before I post pics of the whole scarf, but I am posting a few little macro shots of it. I could sit and stare at all the bits of this scarf for hours with it's diferent little worlds of colors, even though I'm not on psychedelics. If I was on psychedelics, I would definately want a scarf like this. Maybe I should make another one and send it to Terrence McKenna.
Immediately upon finishing I ordered 3 more hanspun yarns from Etsy: one from That Spinning Place, one from Luxe, and another from Mary Jane's Attic's contribution to Wonderland Retreat, which is an etsy shop to raise money for hospital bills incurred during the medical emergency of a fellow crafter, Allison Gordon. That shop is full of great stuff.
I don't know when I'll get the time to make something from my new yarns, since I have several projects right now that have turned into sagas. And I really want to buy MORE. I think Meshell is a bad influence.

Always a bad influence =P I love ThatSpinningPlace!
The colours are so gorgeous, I love seeing how they go together with the stitches, beautiful!
Your scarf looks great! And, thanks for stopping by my blog! The more you knit the faster it should go. Sometimes just using a more slippery needle helps too.
