Cashmere anyone?

A few weeks ago at the NH Sheep & Wool festival I was on a mission.  The only thing on my list of things to purchase was more of the scrumptious cashmere roving that I had purchased there the year before.

Bypassing row after row of beautiful fiber, I went on the search for the vendor who had sold me the cashmere.  Imagine my dismay when she was nowhere to be found :(.  I was totally bummed out!  Once we returned home however, I thankfully found  my catalog from the year before and was able to track her down.  4 little bags of roving arrived on my doorstop last week...yay!

Currently I am working on Brambler and am about 1/3 of the way finished.  This will be my last scarf for a little while once I finish. 

Of all the Little Nothing Scarves, this one is probably the easiest of all.  Anyone new to lace and looking for something to learn on...this scarf is it.  Very very easy and with the heavier yarn it works up quickly. :-)

I have a few fiber things I want to concentrate on once I am finished with this scarf.  I need to finish up a few pair of socks, dig out my sewing machine, catch up on some spinning and then finally I hope to settle back into working on Bee during summer evenings.  Bee has been ever patient sitting in my basket and it is time for her to have a little more attention again :-)

I hope by finishing up some loose ends, I can simplify my life a bit. :-)

Glad you were able to track her down. Also like the scarf pattern. Knitspot does some great designs.

Brambler is so lovely in that yarn! And the cashmere is so yummy; I know you are going to love playing with it! :)

[anne]

oooh, yummy fiber and your scarf is delectable . . .looks like blueberries!

Count me among those who would love to know who the vendor is!

[Rebecca]

Is that cashmere roving actually such a lovely taupe color as it appears in the photo? Taupe is a wonderful color for me, and soooo hard to find.

Enough to make me get a spinning wheel!

Kim- Yes, I think we all need to simplify- I just haven't figured out how to do that.

[Anne]

Cashmere only? What a way to go!

Another pretty scarf!

[Debbie]

Oooh, your yarn is rich, gorgeous! Love it. I can't wait to see what comes from the cashmere!

Laurie asks the only question that is important. ;-)
Simplifying sounds like an excellent idea. I'm working on it, too.

[Laurie]

So who is the cashmere vendor? I'm curious.

[Teyani]

ahhh cashmere.

lovely brambler too

[tiennie]

What a score! Pretty scarf too!

I've got several of these guys queued and yarn acquired. Will make Brambler out of Tigerlilith's Cashmere/silk. But that 'Twilight' Opulence of yours is mighty tempting! What a gorgeous colorway!

That cashmere roving is yummy!

[Kathy]

Yum, cashmere!

Brambler is beautiful and in that deep colour it looks so dramatic. I'll look forward to more pictures of your Bee stole, too, which I realy adore, especially in your Tupelo Honey colourway; I would love to make it but feel I need more practice with easier lace first, which I hope to gain on the Little Nothing scarves I have ordered. Is Bee very complicated or does it just look that way?

The closest I've come to knitting a lace scarf was the Clapotis, but I have some skeins of KnitPicks' Palette that may wind up in one. Bramble is very pretty.

These little scarves are addicting!
