About an inch away from finishing the last half of my green scarf.  Like the Sydney Harbour Bridge the two halves are to meet in the centre via a ”three-needle join” which Joanne from Wool Baa, whose pattern it is and who knits nothing other than these scarves, has promised to show me. 

Am pretty pleased with its cobweb beauty, and the colour is superb.  Chartreuse is such an inevitable colour for born redheads that, despite its strength, it can be blanked out by the eye.  It’s like the brain does an instantaneous calculation: celtic colouring = green = chartreuse = nothing more to know.  But this is not just any old chartreuse.  This is Kidsilk Haze for a start, the creme de la creme of yarns.  And the silk glistens amongst the green haze to give it a depth and freshness that is entirely unlike other chartreuses. I swear it’s refreshed the eyes of all who’ve noticed me knitting it and exclaimed on its colour.
