And back again....

I decided that I really need to keep up with my blog. I am going to try to post at least once a week. But it might not always be about knitting. I have been doing lots of other stuff lately like cooking and sewing.
In October a few of us went to the New York Sheep and Wool festival (better know as Rhinebeck).

While there I stopped at the Brook Farm Yarn booth and purchased some Fourplay yarn. It's a blend of merino wool and silk. It's very soft and it came with a free pattern for a marching columns scarf. This scarf has become my favorite project of 2009.

It is amazingly soft and warm. I wear it all the time. I can't give you the pattern link cause they don't have it on the website. This scarf has set me on the path of wanting to make more scarves. Sometimes you make something that just suits you and you have to make more.
