After a few blissful days of sun and warm temperatures, the wet and the cold are rolling back in. S’ok. I have a plan.

That’s my Dorset Down handspun on its way to becoming a head scarf. I was, you know, cheating on it a bit with that baby accessories set. But now that baby stuff is done, I’m back to being faithful to my Dorset. No more cheating. Probably.

It will be, in essence, just a wide strip of lace to wrap around my head and keep the wind from whistling into my ears.  The yarn was spun from Dorest Silver provided by those wonderful people at Louet. I’m very happy with the way it’s working up. Even pre-blocked I can see good definition in the lace.

I made an honest effort to get you picture or two outside, in some good light, before those clouds rolled in. That, however, was mostly prevented by Feline Overlord.

She has loved this Dorset from the very beginning. Future head scarf is going to have to live in a locked box I think.
