Possum Magic

This scarf is knitted out of a beautiful homespun possum wool I picked up during my recent travels to New Zealand. It is so soft and light to touch and Ive been told it should be nice and warm for the winter months ahead. It was knitted on 10mm knitting needles using the same knitting stitch as the blanket I have also recently knitted.

The pattern is a very easy net-like lacy stitch and fast to knit:
Using 10mm needles cast on 31 stitches. (For a scaft about 41cm wide)
K1, *wool round needle, knit 2 together* repeat the pattern between the asterisks to the end of the row
Repeat this row until scarf reaches your desired length.

A Chill in the Air

The mornings and evenings are starting to cool down and there is a crisp edge to the Canberra air as we approach winter.

My fingers are responding to the itch to knit and I am knitting like a 'knit-wit' with 4 projects on the go: a fluffy green/blue scarf, a possum wool scarf, a recycled silk (from Nepal) scarf and a jumper knitted from beautiful rasberry & chocolate coloured wool I bought during a recent trip to NZ. They are all beautiful and rich in textures and colours and simply delightful!
