Are you ready for fall/gift knitting?

I'm not ready at all. I apologise that I took so long to upload/add the handspun. We've been out of town and I wasn't able to make my laptop talk to the router. Anyway, in Summer 08 issue of Spin-Off, there's a gallery of Morning Surf Scarves knitted from handspun. I knitted one for my daughters school auction. This pattern is very flexible/adjustable. Based on the
specs in Spin-Off, with sports weight yarn:
  • 220 yards used, 5" by 48', US4
  • 216 yards used, 6.5" by 50", US3
  • 460 yards used, 8" by 55", 16wpi, US6
  • 500 yards used, 8" by 73" 16 wpi, US4
  • 319 yards used, 6" by 60", 18wpi, US2
I googled for more pictures and blogs on Morning Surf Scarf.
