Good Stuff to Come

City Girls Scarf, get the free pattern.

After finishing my first hand spinning class I'd spun a small amount of Romney yarn.

It was lumpy and bumpy... thick and thin, and erratically spun... 
I thought would be nice knitted up as a pair of socks (I didn't know much about knitting socks back then).

I had a hard time finding a pattern I could understand and that matched the gauge of my hand spun so I wrote my own.

The ensuing socks were completely different sizes and so bulky I couldn't wear them with shoes.
They sat in the bottom of a drawer for a number of years. Every so often I'd take them out and look at them but they were never actually worn.

I didn't know what to do with them, so I completely unraveled them and re-purposed the yarn as the City Girls Scarf shown here.

It turns out that lumpy, bumpy, thick, and thin yarn is just the thing you need for a soft and cuddly scarf.

You can find me under theFibreworks on Ravelry
