Branching Out

My wonderful friend Tammy gifted me some of that luscious Manos De Uruguay Silk Blend and I'd been wanted to make the Branching Out scarf in a worsted weight ever since I saw Lynda's.The silk and wool blend are so beautiful to touch. It has a classy and subtle shine to it and knits like air.
The first skein had some wonder variation in color, while the second was from a different dye lot and is much more solid. I am hoping that I've achieved a graduated effect with this scarf's color, but not so sure. DH saw it finished and thought I might have accidentally bleached part of it. But what does he know?

Summer is here and we're having belated birthday parties and the two eldest are helping with VBS while I stay at home and revel in home life with the two youngest, soaking up hugs and books and poolside knitting.
This poolside pic if from a party not too long ago, to say bon voyage to good friends...Carole, we miss you and yours!Tennis Anyone? I've been playing...even int he heat. :-)
