Progress Update: Lynne

From 1/17:

I've just started on the sari along.  Running a bit late - we've been sanding the floors at our place and it is taking a fair whack of time simply to move all our stuff out of dust's way. 

So far I've found my yarn is waaaay overspun and can be a bit of a handful.  I've knitted a number of
scarves with a similar pattern, but I thought I had just made the pattern up.  It should knit up quickly, except I have to stop to untwist the overspun bits.

I'll forward a pic tomorrow.  My yarn is nowhere near as lurid as yours!  I got mine off Oz ebay.  Cost
about $8 Australian.

From 1/19:

I have done a little more work on the scarf.  It is now  about 50cm (20") long.  I am still finding the
yarn hard to knit with.  I am a classic Western thrower.  I tried picking instead, as I find this helpful when I use larger needles, but that was even harder than throwing the yarn.  I am very used to using novelty yarns but even those are a doddle compared to this.

[Sorry for the delay in getting the 1/17 post up.  Must be my legal training kicking in but I wanted to clear content in email for public dispersal.  :)  Risa]
