a manly scarf

i spent yesterday morning "reclaiming" the house after a month of family visitors. my studio (that has held grandchildren and cots and air mattresses and suitcases and toys and books) is once again a studio.

to give myself a treat on this day of transition, i moved my wheel outside and hauled out the alpaca roving i bought on friday in felix cove, and combined with camel and tussah silk (silk that doesn't involve the death of the silk worm), i've spun up the most gorgeous and luxurious soft yarn. a natural blend of cream and beige and grey. i'll knit up a "manly " scarf with it. although my scarves are for everyone, i know it is women who are buying and wearing them. i need to appeal more to the men too...
