Keeping busy

Sorry for the lack of posts in the last couple of weeks.  I have been busy hand knitting a scarf for a special friend who is off to live in Boston in the USA.  They have bitterly cold winters there and so I thought a scarf made from the hair of my beautiful samoyeds, Seamus and Teadach, would be the perfect gift.  I collect the fleece when I am brushing them.  When I had 1 kg or so I had it hand spun.  The woman who spun the fleece did a beautiful job of spinning it very finely.  The scarf was knitted with 3.75mm needles.  I gave Les the scarf today and he was indeed pleased.

Here's the scarf and a skein of the puppie's lovely fleece.

Valerie did a lovely job of the spinning and made these gorgeous labels with a photo of the dogs.
