There hasn't been much knitting content this week. Before I left I was looking on Facebook and found two free patterns from Debbie Bliss

Sorry-I don't know how to add a link while posting on my iPad.
The cowl (and a muff) are knit in Paloma. This is a thick chain yarn (it looks like it has already been knit before you knit with it) that is super light.
60% baby alpaca
40% merino
knits on 9mm-10mm needles
I knit a cowl in the yarn and it is super soft!
And here is my scarf. I spent time last night watching TV and working on it.
Clik here to view.

It might not look longer but two more repeats of the pattern are done. Every time you start a repeat 2 stitches are added. This means the rows are getting longer and the sections are taking more time. Yes, I am making excuses for my lack of progress. :)
