Cashmere!

I've been busy... either finishing up the notorious W.I.P.s or taking a break from knitting.
Had to, just had to post this entry for a spa knitting project of sorts. Wanted to do something luxurious for my birthday last month. This is the type of thing that should accompany a chocolate bubble bath and vino, but dark rosewood needles made do instead.

Behold!
Hand-painted 100% Italian sportweight cashmere. A.L. de Sauveterre's , Estelle in the Cornish Pixie colorway.
The pattern - Eyelet Swirls from Vogue Stitchonary, Vol. I
The scarf is about 33 inches from one 200 yard hank. Not bad. It looks really pretty with a periwinkle blouse and tops off a denim jacket very nicely.
