scrunchy and cashmere, what more could you want?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 | accessories, design, knitting

I’m working on a pattern that’ll be ready really soon, so that means it’s time for new projects!

I am in LOVE with this scarf I’ve started out of Jade Sapphire laceweight cashmere. Yes, it’s on small needles and yes, that’s a lot of knitting. But it’s super soft and light, I love the colour and I’m just having a great time knitting it! Very large cables make it scrunch up in really interesting ways. I’ve got over 10″ done and I’ve only worked on it a few days. I already can’t wait to wear this in the fall – I think it might turn out to be one of the most beautiful and wearable things I’ve knit.

Oh my goodness. That looks heavenly! At first I thought it was just bunched up, but if that’s how the fabric is designed, I can’t wait to see how the rest of it turns out. I am a big fan.

I have one tiny skein of this yarn from Rhinebeck 3 years ago (gah, where has the time gone). I’ve been debating what to make with it for at least that long. Is your scarf a single skein project?
