Ostrich_plume_so_far

Kind of hard to get excited about a blanket, that just goes on and gets only longer instead of different.  But — I am now on the fifth ball of yarn, and it looks like it will be a nice size.  No bets on the final measurements, of course, but this time I’m getting almost exactly 3 1/4 inches per ball, and it’s about 45 inches wide, without blocking.  I have to say, I love this pattern.  The "plume" part with its scalloped edges, and the little cable-esque detail — really nice.

    My husband was just in Hong Kong and that reminded me to check in with you and see what you’ve been knitting – wow – I love your blanket – it’s just gorgeous! and your beautiful scarves – you’ve inspired me to dig out my Scarf Style book. I received some Knit Picks Elegance today – have you tried it? The Andean silk also feels nice – I think they would make wonderful scarves. Interweave is putting out another “Style” book this Fall – I think it’s “Wrap Style” or something – have you seen it yet? I saw some pictures and the little flowered cape caught my eye – it would be so cute on my daughter. I might have to give that one a try! Annhb
