SYNO swap: yarns

karabella aurora 8 in color 276
the upcoming scarf swap had deemed me a reason to visit my LYS this week. i am going to use this indescribable shade of karabella yarn for my backyard leaves scarf. actually, i first saw this color on martha's scarf (she makes the most amazing scarves!), and i'm hoping that by using the yarn specified in the pattern would make my scarf knitter's knitting a bit easier. no need to swatch. perfect!

karabella aurora 8 is very similar to jaeger's extra fine merino yarn. it is very soft, very bouncy and it come in many great colors. i heard that with extended wear, this yarn tends to pill. hmm. i'll see if that's the case.

as far as my spinning goes, the following picture says it all. i'm not sure if this craft is the kind that comes naturally for me but at the moment, i'm going to say: no. nonetheless i still have *some* hopes.

a tangling mess

bloglines:
some hiccups happened last week, i lost all my feeds. humph! also, i had asked bloglines to have only one *active* rss feed of my blog in their database. i'm not sure if such modification would cause some problems on your end. if so, you can just re-subscribe. i hope.

I didn't notice anything awry with Bloglines either.. so maybe all is well! Love the yarn/color/pattern you chose for SYNO. I hope I get your scarf to knit!

I had problems with bloglines too last week. Your yarn looks scrummy! I'm going for the same scarf in the swap and will be posting about my chosen yarn later today hopefully.

Love that yarn for the scarf; I am very partial to those "indescribable" colors.

I love the yarn and the color. I can't wait to see the finished scarf (or maybe I'll be lucky enough to get to knit it).
