Irish Hiking Scarf

I have finished 6 feathers hats for my friend. I am now knitting for myself or to stockpile for whatever may be needed in the future.

I started the Irish Hiking Scarf late last night. I am knitting it in Heirloom "Cashmino" 8ply in Black. I got it at Daisy Design's in Daisy Street, Fairy Meadow, NSW Australia.


There was one ball of "Cashmino" in the basket of yarn I won at Daisy Design's Weekend Knitters Retreat in May and I bought another 2 balls that weekend to knit the Irish Hiking Scarf. It is so soft to knit.

As you can see below Ruby is being spoilt more so since #2 son has moved to WA. DH has her inside on the lounge with him of an afternoon, and I get a bit anxious putting her outside in her kennel. She has spent alot of nights lately sleeping in the laundry.

Great news from WA, #2 son and girlfriend got engaged on 1 August 2007. They are just so happy with themselves. They rang home here that night and told us the great news. He took her to the duck pond in a local park and got down on 1 knee and proposed. He must get the romantic side of him from me.
