This is a long scarf/shawl that I did as a test knit. The pattern is called Sixty Bushels Shawlette and is designed by Susan Elizabeth. The pattern is available through Ravelry. I used thinner yarn than recommended but I like the way it came out. The scarf is very long though! The pattern is simple and easy to memorise. I wanted something fairly simple to show off the long colour runs in the yarn and I think this worked out well.
The yarn is called Color Me Happy. It is 100% wool, laceweight, approx 700m in 100g and it smells sheepy! I love it. It is a little coarse and reminds me of the Jaimeson and Smith yarn that I used to make the Sheep Carousel tea cosy. I bought the yarn from Prudence Mapstone's stall at the craft fair at Rosehill at the beginning of March. I helped out at the NSW Knitters Guild stand one morning and th had some time to wander around in the afternoon. I was very restrained and came home with just this yarn.
