ENNUI - I believe it's over
I do believe it is finally over. Yes I have started knitting again. Amazing huh? I think my knitting “block” has been lifted. It was a nice long Memorial Day weekend, We were invited to 3 cookouts (that’s what we call them in my neck of the woods) and Monday my son and husband marched in the parade (it didn’t rain hooray!) . Then the rain came, I announced that I was going to knit. Everyone left me alone. I needed a new project. Something to get me excited again. So I browsed through my old Interweave Knit Magazines and found a shawl pattern that looked easy enough. I thought I would use my handspun yarn (see below for the picture) and I read the pattern, it didn’t look like I needed to follow a specific gauge, so I gave it a shot. I think that every pattern I do, there is a mistake, or I am not at the correct stitches I am supposed to be at. So I put that aside. It’s a conspiracy really.
I have been wanting to try the Feather and Fan Scarf I saw over at Brainy Lady's blog I have this really pretty varigated yarn
This picture does not do it justice. It is hot pink and orange, and purple. Here is what I have so far
I know I know, I got the fancy camera, I should be able to take a better picture! I didn't want to make it as wide as the pattern called for so I made it a little skinnier. It is a cotton yarn so I don't think it is going to drape really well. I only have 3 skeins of this yarn, I hope it will be long enough.

That's fantasy naturale! I have it too--same gorgeous color--and don't know what to do with it, so I'm looking forward to seeing your scarf turn out.
