Last Saturday I went to Yarn Works in Gainesville to take a class on making a fishnet lacy scarf.  It's always great dropping by my very favorite yarn shop in the area. 

Left to right:  Marsha (shop assistant to owner, Barbara) Al and Linda, who taught the class and is wearing the scarf she taught us to make.

Here's the luscious yarn I chose to make mine........it's called Araucania and comes from Chile.  And it's ever so soft!  Unfortunately, the lighting wasn't quite right when I snapped the photo, because it's really a beige or champagne color.

And look at these adorable needles I got.......they have a cute pearl and decoration on the end and say, I love knitting, with a kitty.  They're also very nice to work with!

And here's my work in progress.................

I'm making it as a shawl.  By casting on 43 stitches, rather than 23, it becomes wide enough to wear as a shawl.  I'll keep you posted on the progress.

If you're a knitter, leave a comment and tell us what you're working on at the moment.  And if you've discovered any different or new yarns............do share with us!

See you here next time................
