Notes

The picture shows the finished neckwarmer, but unfortunately I finished this in NY, without a darning needles and without scissors…and of course, it hasn’t been blocked yet, but I wanted to share the beauty of the two yarns…You can’t even tell there are 2 yarns, can you?


This was a quick knit except for the three rows I messed up on the plane. The S&C Fine and the Kidsilk Haze were perfect matches for each other, making it look as if I knit this with a very fuzzy skein of S&C Fine. The S&C Fine was a pleasure to work with and this was the first project where I haven’t wished Kidsilk Haze to perdition. I even have enough of each yarn to make another. This was an excellent project.
