First a finished object, this is the Column of Leaves scarf I started knitting in Cornwall with the DK Baby Camel yarn from poshyarn. It was going to be my scarf for my ISE4 partner, but shortly after starting to knit I realised it just wasn’t right for my partner so it will now be a gift for a family member.
The pattern is the Column of Leaves from http://brookenelson.com/leafscarfpattern.html

I really love this pattern and will probably knit it again, as for the yarn - it is absolutely gorgeous, probably the softest yarn I have ever knit with. It was a joy to knit and I wil DEFINITELY buy Camel yarn again.

Here’s a close up of the pattern

It needs blocking and the ends weaving in, once that’s done I will post a final picture for you.

Now for the WIP -

I know…it’s not knitting but it’s what we spent all weekend doing! So, the walls,ceiling and skirting boards have a lovely fresh coat of paint, the horrid yellow paint on the windowsill has been removed to reveal the lovely quarry tiles and the light switches and plug sockets have been replaced.

So from this -

to this -

and from this -

to this -

Now we need to get new carpet and we’re done. We even had time to paint the smaller room as well -

Now we just have a pile of junk to get rid of that was filling these rooms!
