Breezy Meadows Scarf

At long last, I have finished my Breezy Meadow’s scarf! Last May I went on my first “Fiber Farm Crawl.” It was terrific! We toured 5 different farms, met the proprietors, and best of all … met all of the animals! Llamas, goats, sheep, rabbits, and last but not least … the adorable alpacas! As a knitter, it was thrilling to go behind-the scenes of fiber production! It’s wild to pet an animal, watch it walking around, and then realize that eventually the fur you’re touching will be sheared, cleaned, carded, spun, and then knit into something like this scarf! I purchased this yummy wool at our second stop that day, Breezy Meadows Farm. I love the natural color – and it’s so soft! The pattern is called Eton’s Scarf and is available for free on the Mellow Being blog. It’s simple – but the result is classic and adorable. My only complaint is that with 42 stitches across, it’s a tad time consuming. I kept getting bored with it and switching to other projects, so it took way longer to complete than it should’ve. But – complete it is! I’m pleased with the end product. And – the width that I complained about while knitting will be W-A-R-M in the snowy winter!	Breezy Meadows Scarf    Close up of pattern
