I finally finished my Damson and Veronica also has a completed one (that she blocked “properly” so it must be prettier than mine). After much debate, I decided to just finish the darn thing in the mismatched color and see what would happen. It actually looks really cool. It has a slight fading as if the ends are burning out into orange. Worked out well.
Kel is plotting her scarflette…eyeing up the Malabrigo Sock yarn. If you haven’t knitted a “scarflette” yet, its all the rage this season! These little things use basic lace in an easily memorizeable pattern that makes finishing one quite easy. These are great projects for holiday gifts and some of them are “man” friendly!
Worked in sock yarn, most of these projects are also a great way to use some amazing sock yarn without the stress of starting yet another pair of socks.
Some hot options right now: (Ravelry links below)
Damson – Ysolda Teague (shown above)

I finished my Damson in the Eggplant Malabrigo Sock I took off your hands a couple of weeks ago. LOVE IT!!! Fun easy knit and finished product is great. I think I like this one better than Ishbel even. Gasp!

Forgot to mention my next scarflette is going to be springtime bandit in the 4 skeins of terra I bought during the opening weekend. Then a milkweed in TBD yarn. I have many options in the increasingly burgeoning fibre space stash that I have going on. I’m going to be to be so in fashion w/ all my scarflettes!!
