I have crochet hooks and I am not afraid to use them. Especially when I should be working.

 Two new scarves complete!

Sari silk, bamboo, wool, and tencel scarf in all the colors of autumn

Vibrant blue recycled sari silk scarf

The first one is....gorgeous. The photos do not do the colors justice. It honestly looks like the trees along the mountains here in the middle of peak leaf season in the autumn. And it is so very soft. 

For folks who had me set aside scarves- if you need them for the holidays, you are getting close to when it is no longer comfortable to brave the post office and send things off ( and when things will cease to make it through the kerfluffle with any sort of alacrity). I think at least one of you was having me hold one that was intended as a gift?

That being said, if you want to support my fiber habit and get a scarf for someone for a winter holiday, let me know if you need it shipped elsewhere, and if it is a gift I can pack it up all nice. There could even be pretty paper involved.

I have one more of the more traditional rainbow sari silk scarves in the works, as well as some nice earthy angora mohair fiber to work with.

The sari silk is very beautiful! Do you mind sharing where you get your yarn? I just make things and give them away...I'm always looking for new victims recipients.

This is the etsy seller I got the blue from
http://www.etsy.com/shop/BodhiYarn?ref=seller_info

They are the best, so far, for reasonable pricing with good quality fiber. There are a few sellers on etsy, but you want to make sure they are advertising high quality for the sari silk. I ended up with some I can't make scarves with- it is too rough/stiff *sigh*

I used to give the scarves away, then I became unemployed- so it really is selling in order to keep up the habit. There is just something VERY relaxing about crochet in the evening :)

Thank you! I find knitting very zen.

I was supposed to take some classes on knitting- got the needles and everything- but the first few classes were right when I was at my two weeks of conference.

Always wanted to knit, but at least I can crochet. I made a 6' by 6' sueded yarn afghan for my sister last year :)

Knitting is not difficult and not hugely different from crochet. I do both. I like all kinds of needlework.

That's a big afghan! I love to make them.

I enjoying playing with interesting fibers :)

Thank you for setting aside the scarf for me! I'm able to claim it now -- do you take PayPal?

Didnt mean to rush you! Also didn't want to lose track of anyone and end up waiting until the last minute though :)

I do in fact take paypal. If you have an etsy, link is here http://www.etsy.com/listing/59728861/reserved-for-angel-vixen
I have just had the listing inactive until you wanted it. If you dont have etsy, let me know and I will pull it down and we can do it manually :)

[angel-vixen.livejournal.com]

No worries! We just happened to be on the same page. :)

I have an Etsy, but don't use it -- but I can do PayPal manually!

[fireun.livejournal.com]

ok! paypal is fireun3 @ yahoo.com

$15 total (shipping and scarf, $14 if you dont want priority, I just always default to priority)

I am remembering correctly and that was the only one you wanted, yes?

[genuinelie.livejournal.com]

Oh drat, she got the blue one, eh?

[fireun.livejournal.com]

nope! I had been holding a green and brown alpaca and wool one for her. the blue sari silk is still up for grabs :)

[genuinelie.livejournal.com]

oooh. Ok. Can you put that aside for me?? That color is the prettiest blue I've seen. I need to beg Becca to paypal it for me tonight ^_^

[fireun.livejournal.com]

it is set aside (well, the title has been changed to say it is yours. If you dont have etsy, let me know and I will pull it down proper and get you a total. I keep them up there if possible for the nice receipt/invoice process :) but it isnt necessary)

It is the prettiest blue ever. You should have seen me cooing over the skein of yarn *laugh*

[genuinelie.livejournal.com]

Yay! Becca's gonna paypal you in a sec...so you can sell it to gnarlycat :-)

Thank you!

[angel-vixen.livejournal.com]

Is it not the most gorgeous shade of blue?! I was tempted by it for just a moment, I admit!

AngelVixen :-)

[angel-vixen.livejournal.com]

At this time, yes, it's the only one. I'll send the funds tonight or early tomorrow, and include a note on preferred shipping. Pleasure doing business with you, ma'am! ^____^
