A while ago I went to a knitting convention with [livejournal.com profile] kethryvis and splurged on some lace weight 70% merino wool/30% possum yarn (that's right -- possum). It has been the most pleasant thing that I have ever knit with and gave me a chance to try a new lace stitch -- vine stitch.

My new awesome possum scarf is blocking on a towel on my living room floor and it makes me squee with joy to see a project this fun to the very end. Even my cats are being reverent (so far) and going around it.

I've already ordered more possum yarn....I'm such a dork.

Possum wool is FANTASTIC. I brought my mom a scarf made of it from New Zealand when I went years ago. She was skeptical.

When I went back, she made me promise to bring her a sweater when I returned.

It's so amazingly soft!
