soft, purple and on sale!

This Debbie Bliss alpaca/silk is unbelievably soft and was on clearance at Webs! I suspect they discontinued the color. I bought it unsure of what to do with it, and it turned into this narrow scarf for my college roommate's birthday. I knit it side to side (the long way) using an alternating seed stitch/ garter stitch pattern, which gave the scarf a nice bumpy effect that you can't really see in the picture.


I haven't been knitting or posting quite as much as I'd like because graduate school bears a reasonably strong resemblance to Hobbes' description of life - except for the short part. But I'm slowly chipping away at a big knitting project, so stay tuned!
