Habu Happy
Habu Happy, Happy Habu, sounds like some sort of special day, do you think? Some of you may know that I have been coveting Habu for some time. I think my first introduction was perhaps via Nora, I know that wherever I first saw it, I immediately began googling obsessively. The more I saw, the more I desired, stockists over here are few and far between but eventually I ordered a skein of Stainless Steel Silk from K1 yarns (and this lovely pattern, which has been added to my "must make pile").
The yarn arrived, I gazed, I stroked, I stalked the internet once more and eventually decided to order a bit more........ I ordered from Purl, such a great service, arrived in less than a week.
I am still doing a lot of gazing and stroking, this stuff is so pretty and I am nurturing a new obsession for concerning Habu, it js centred around these SKIF patterns. Of course there is also this gorgeous jacket and indeed at least a dozen others.
In the mean time, I have started on a Kusha Kusha scarf, pattern available here. My, this is strange stuff to knit with, but so much fun. I keep pulling and twisting at the strange fabric created, it is so very strange to me. Stocking stitch scarves normally bore me silly after the first few centimetres but the fascination of this keeps me going.
