I finished the brioche scarf, with plenty of yarn left over.

I had guesstimated that two hanks of yarn would be enough for a scarf, but the store staff said it would only make a small one. So I doubled my purchase and got four hanks. Two was more than enough for a normal-sized scarf, I have no idea what kind of monster scarves they were picturing. So now I have two whole untouched hanks. I guess I’ll make another scarf, then. Can’t make an identical one, though (because that would be too boring) so the second one will get a zigzagging line. But now the first one will look plain in comparison so I’ll have to think of some sort of embellishment for it.

The yarn itself is lovely to work with. Butter-soft merino wool, after the fuzzy alpaca and sock yarn I’ve using recently. It felt weird in my hands at first, too smooth, almost greasy, but now I love touching it.
