I am still rather slow with the fair isle scarf, but I have several projects on the go, so it's only a few rows here and there right now. I think I won't finish before next winter:) Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698697238692601738.post-54024960041166908092019-01-18T18:17:51.156-08:002019-01-18T18:17:51.156-08:00The silk yarn is gorgeous!

Still, roll and go games are a great idea.

I don't think that dark aida cloth would have been my favourite to work with. I love that it is so easily portable. I bet that is a gift that will be used a lot.

I love the handle and natural colour, peaty, not warm brown (doesn't suit me!), more a greyish brown - I think I'm in love:) Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698697238692601738.post-26352029494970215682019-01-07T05:27:23.718-08:002019-01-07T05:27:23.718-08:00Always a joy to see what you have been up to!
