Red-y for Fall

It is properly cooling down now, and I thought a breathable yet warm bamboo scarf would be just the ticket to celebrate the beautiful season change.

I haven't worked with bamboo much before, especially when it's not blended with anything else.  This yarn is 100% bamboo, and consequently is silky soft, has a nice gentle shine, and has just enough stretch without being too giving.

I was also impressed to find that the weight and warmth of the scarf are rather impressive given that the yarn is so lightweight, which is exactly what fall demands of our apparel.  Something warm for the mornings and evenings, but not suffocating for the sunny afternoons.

The only qualm I have in working with this is that the radiance of the colour and shine of the fiber is superbly difficult to capture in a picture (at least with my camera it is).

When my shop goes up, this will be one of the pieces that will go on sale.  Unless it catches someone's eye beforehand of course.  

Finally, as has been evident in the last couple of weeks, I have changed my blogpost day to some Thursdays but mostly Fridays.  I have a new schedule that is making the Wednesday night blogposts a touch too tricky to manage, so I have pushed it back officially.  Thank you for your patience.

Stay sweet, stay crafty, and stay tuned.
