That's what this is.
Scaruffle in brushed cashmere and silk. Lime.Green.
If one does not have much time to knit, one must knit something luscious in one's valuable time, no?
Pattern: Scaruffle from The Knitter's Book of Yarn
Yarn: Superior Filatura di Crosa : brushed cashmere on a silk core. color #23 - just over half a ball. What to do with the leftovers, hmmm?
Needles: no earthly idea. oops.
Verdict: oh my, yes. Quick to knit, beautiful, forgiving, versatile. The perfect little Fall/Spring scarf. Make one. Right now.
p.s. Turns out, it's hard to take a decent picture of oneself in a scarf and get all of both in the frame.
i have a fantastic deep smoky shade of kidsilk haze (i know, that makes you itch) waiting for just this project.
i love that color.

Hee hee hee... I have that same issue every time I finish a scarf or a hat. I take approximately 60 blurry shots of my chin or my ear before I get even one half-decent one that actually shows the finished object. ;-)
That shade of green looks nice on you, btw!

Pretty--I love all things green! And cashmere--who can complain about cashmere?
Usually I use the self-time on my camera and set it to 10 seconds. The picture ends up being slightly more spontaneous, but it still looks good.
