After a few weeks, this was completed on Feb 5.

Ysolda was at AVFKW so I was able to show the FO to her. We talked about the features, and she noted that it was worked over at least a handful of times during the design process.

Wow! all that worked enabled me to reap the reward of a beautiful scarf.

The yarn is indigo-dyed by AVFKW and is luscious and rich in color. Photos do not capture the depth of color.

The pattern uses #5 needles. Because I tend to knit tightly I used #6's.
I would advise knitters to use #5's.

Completed Feb 5

I got nervous at the end.

Good for walks.
Great when Old Growth emerges from indigo overdye.
Brilliant when designed.

Crocking on hands is an indication of handling and work. Love it.

This photographic exercise makes me appreciate that our eyes readily discern that which takes effort with a camera.

Blue Indigo Cosmos

AVFKW held a celebratory indigo dip in early November to commemorate their first anniversary in their new shop.

Prepped yarn or fiber or fabric is slowly immersed into the hot indigo pot.

Work is done while the dipped items "cook."
