The picot.
I know it may seem that I am picot edge crazy right now...but there is something about it that I love. Not only are the picots fabulous, but the simplicity of the garter stitch really suits this yarn. I needed something simple to knit. I had purchased two skeins of Beaverslide yarn...just to get my hands on some. I needed something simple and quick so that I could see how it knits up. I thought this would be perfect.
Beaverslide yarn has...a shall we say...distinct scent. I actually had it in a bin under the bed for a while...not sure if I could knit with it. You see, I am not really an animal person. Don't get me wrong, I think they are cute...but the smell and the hair...well, it is not for me. (I know, I know...I don't smell all that great sometimes and lets not even talk about my hair and it's shedding...seriously).
I decided it was time to break out the yarn and knit something up. This yarn knits up beautifully...who cares if you smell like you are sitting in a barn!
The pattern is simple. I will write it up and post it on my ravelry pattern page.
Oh, the smell...it goes away after a good soak. The yarn softens ups wonderfully. I definitely will be using it again.

I'm so excited to see your finished objects. This scarf is beautiful. I've never used Beaverslide either, but then again there a lot I've never used.
Beautiful scarf
That's lovely - very delicate for a yarn I think of as rustic. But then, I've never had the chance to knit with it.
hey, I´m glad you`re "back" :-)
Oh good! I'd hate for such a pretty yarn to smell like a barn permanently!
