Does anyone remember the faggot-y (that's a stitch, not a value judgment) scarf-y, stole-y thing I started last summer?
I didn't think so.
I barely remember it myself. During the intervening months I have knat upon it for the odd few rows, but mostly it languished. I sat down on Monday evening, however -- when I should have been at a meeting but couldn't get there because Smokey had my car and had forgotten to leave me a key for his -- and finished it.
Can I get a woo? and a hoo? And maybe a w00t for good measure?
Thank you.
Here it is looking all faggot-y and ass-y in its unblocked state.
I think I should block it.

Question: has anyone knit a pair of socks from Cherry Tree Hill DK superwash merino (with high twist)? Cathy-Cate gave me a skein of it in the Moody Blues colorway, it is gorgeous, and I want to make socks. But I know I will never "hand wash in cold water for best results " nor "dry them flat", as the label says. Somebody please tell me the CTH folks are kidding about that, that I can machine wash them inside out in warm/cold water and throw them in a lukewarm dryer with the rest of the laundry without felting them. Please? If not, I am thinking hat or scarf.
