An Exciting Commission

They may look like "just scarves" but these are special. Normally I make scarves one at a time and go to great lengths to make them all a little bit different. This time I had a commission for TEN scarves, all made to the same specifications though in five different colours.

They are now finished and are winging their way to Qatar!  I still find it hard to believe but my bank balance is the proof of this puddling.  I was a little bit afraid I might get bored by the end but that didn't happen, mainly because of the softest, lightest fibre I have ever worked with I think. It is so luxurious. What is it?  Believe it or not, it is MINK.

A ferret by any other name . . .

I try not to think too much about the ferret likeness!  Apart from that cringe factor, the whole exercise has been a challenge, fun, and very satisfying.
