Just a fast post with two new fo’s to show off(”what”, you say, Carrie has actually finished a project?) Well, yes I have…imagine that! Anyhow, here are sneaky peeks as they lay flat blocking on a blue towel that really doesn’t make them look their best. Top is a snippet of a yarn over scarf from a skein I spun called Carribbean. I had that skein on consignment at a lys and got it back a while ago. Decided to knit up instead of re-listing it. I used a commercially hairy yarn carried along on the tightly knit areas and in the fringe (fringe not shown).

And this one is the end of a belt-scarf hybrid from a recent skein I spun up and couldn’t keep my hands off, called ‘Royalty’. Knit both sides, with a buttonhole like loopy bit at the other end to slip the tail through if you want to wear it as a belt. Or it makes a great skinny scarf. I also made a wacky cell phone bag-cosy from this skein and a necklace that I’m pretty happy with. Will try to post those soon too

Not listing these for sale until after my show on Shelter Island in a few weeks, so if anybody is interested, give a yell. Will be at the Chamber of Commerce Arts and Crafts Fair at the school grounds, on August 25th with my Sister and her beautiful photos in the booth next door. It’s usually a good show for both of us and we meet lots of new and old friends there every year.
