Scarf 2/10 doesn't need anything to be soft. The warp is Lorna's Laces in "Intelligence" and the weft is Madelinetosh sock in Winter Wheat. Kelly picked the yarn from my Ravelry stash page (best she could do from the other side of the world...) so this one is hers.
Today I finished off the body of my Opulent Raglan. It just needs a neckband and sleeves. I added about 15cm to the length, and finished it with the same twisted rib that runs down the side of the main cable (instead of a turned under hem).
It's been great Spring weather here this week. Byron keeps saying to me, "Why don't you knit outside?". lol. Here are Byron and Jasmine having a go at knitting. By the end of the day there was a spiderweb around the swings, puncture marks in one of their toy chairs, and the needles were banned. Again. But they had fun...
Jasmine is very keen. I'm not going to teach her how to knit yet. Maybe when she's 4 or 5. At the moment she just likes to run around with a piece of material saying, "Look at my beautiful knitting!" and thread circulars through and through a ball of wool. hehe.
I also made some armwarmers, and a Kindle cover that became an oven glove (because it refused to felt and shrink). More projects are in the works for this month. I hope to do at least 2 more scarves, a bit of spinning and dyeing and finish off Poppy. And do some weeding :)

Ah so cute to see the kids. I can imagine Jasmine knitting. Love my scarf. It looks so happy in colour. Perfect for winter. Can't wait to feel it's softness.
Are you still using your 'oven mitt' for class? How did you get it to link in with Charlie Weasley?
I used it and my armwarmers to get a dragon's egg out of the fire, because Charlie told me there was a clue in it that would help me with the next task. :)
Gorgeous scarves and the jumper looks like it's going to be stunning.
Ha ha. Love your stories behind your class assignments.
Those scarves are gorgeous!
The kids are having fun and that's the point of our hobbies! LOL
