Peacock Tail and Leaf Scarf

From Nancy Bush's Knitted Lace of Estonia. Knit with handspun yarn from organic merino/silk/firestar Abby batts, spun on a 0.4oz Greensleeves Ethan Jacob spindle. Still a lot left over from my two ounces.

The organic merino makes for a fabulously soft and squishy yarn. Plus, it's a happy, happy orange. :)

As usual, I've been doing lots of knitting and spinning, and not nearly enough photo-taking. But I shall leave you with some shots of my most recent spindle, a Bosworth Moosie whose whorl is made from moose antler.
