Feather and Fan scarf.

I started this quite a while ago but kept being distracted by other knits :-)

It's just a simple feather and fan pattern that I got from an afghan book I have.
I've also done a small amount of spinning with the purple merino roving I got a while ago. I love this roving, it's so soft and fluid, just hoping I can do it justice hance the fact I'm taking my time with it.

Okay, I succombed...

I did it, I've just ordered my first drop spindle. A 28g top whorl drop spindle, at the same time I also ordered 100g English wool top for practice with.

Also for the wool top and the drop spindle I got a real bargain, it only cost me £7.09 with shipping from here.

You know this means that I'll be on here in a couple of days either sobbing about the fact that I can't do it or crowing about how easy it is and what wonderful yarn I've spun.

Of course it'll be the sobbing as nothing ever goes right straight off and it's not so much making mistakes as gaining experience on what not to do LOL. I'm so sticking with that one.

So wish me luck and I'll report back, hopefully before or during the weekend.
