Busy Weekend

I had the pleasure of getting to do 2 different test projects this weekend.

First a Crocheted Scarf. This is the start. The yarn is so old I could not find it listed anywhere on the net. But it is an Acrylic/Wool blend. Twilley's Tweed is the name. It is made in Belgium. I have had it in my stash for many many years. This took 2 skeins, I think this yarn is multiplying in my closet as I have done 4 projects with it and I still seem to have as much as I had when I first got it. Pattern is Knotty Pines Scarf, Designer is Rachel van der Hoek.
Here is the finished picture. The label does not have yardage so I am going to go with 150 yards. Yes Adrienne those are crocheted yards I know....
Then I got the yarn to make the Forest Canopy Cowl by designer Susan Pierce Lawrence. Wow this is wonderful yarn. I had this yarn in my stash but not 2 skeins so I did go shopping for it. It is Manos del Uruguay, silk blend. I love this yarn. Here is the start.....and then the the final cowl. I did have to use part of the second skein so may make some mitts with the rest of the skein. So soft. Going with 150 yards.
Then because I loved this so much I started another one same yarn in a different colorway. This yarn was a gift from Jess, my daughter.

No, Adrienne asks for anything she can get...She does not have many "finished" items so wants any she can get.

I told you you can not knit with your fingers in your ears singing that song.
