December 2005

My first crocheting project in over 20 years - a scarf for my sister. I was lured back in by the most luscious hand-dyed wools, from Kiparoo Farm Studio, where they raise the sheep and dye the wools themselves.

The photos simply do not do justice to the yarns, but here's a close up of the scarf.

I went back for a second batch of yarn, in hot pinks and blacks, making it into a scarf for a young friend, but didn't take a photo of it. However, the yarn remnants did not go to waste. My pets were well-dressed for Christmas.
