Kerfuffle
MAD Cap Fancies
Kerfuffle is a silly shawlette, or maybe it's a scarf, I'm not exactly sure. However, when I saw those 2 skeins of Malabrigo Worsted in Halcyon Yarns last week, I knew they were meant for me, and meant to be joined together by me in a long "something-or-other." I clutched them to my bosom, looking warily around the store. wondering why some other crazed yarn fanatic had not grabbed them first. There was only one of each, and I knew it was DESTINy! I was prepared to fight for them if I had to, but luckily all I had to do was quickly pay for them and leave the store quietly. For those of you who only crochet, I apologize, but I NEEDED to knit the ground in garter stitch: could not help myself. But EffinEffie is working on a crochet ground, so when she is done, the pattern will be updated with her directions...
