And This Little Pig said Crazy Finish No 8

I finished my first County Cottage Needleworks pattern on Monday, and my 8th Crazy January Challenge 2011... Woo Hoo!!! CCN Pumpkin Cottage was a really enjoyable pattern, and it was the 'smallest' of my 'large' starts for the Crazies.
I changed a couple of things, no white pumpkins, I changed them to DMC 3825 Pumpkin Pale, which I also used for "Pumpkin Cottage" wording, the white birds became DMC 168 Pewter Very Light. Have started work again on LHN Pumpkin Hollow Farm.
On a different note, around 12 months ago, a dear friend gave me a skein, a very big ball of Alpaca, homespun. I think it might just be time to knit a scarf. Nothing fancy, just a plain little garter stitch scarf.
Isn't it beautiful, all natural, no dye.
See you again soon... LiBBiE in Oz

  3. Congrats on your finish. I'm envious of your wool. I can never justify buying the good stuff. How nice to receive it as a gift! Have you tried the K2 P2 ribbed scarf? It adds a nice dimension, and it's dead easy. I'm working on one myself.
