A couple more new patterns that are in the Winter Ennea Collective magazine for y'all.
The first is a super simple lace scarf. This takes very little yarn, and if you have a special skein of handspun or a commercial beaded yarn, you can zip thru this on large-ish needles and even get it knit in time for Xmas this weekend.
I used the beaded yarn I spun up from a 4-oz braid of BFL earlier this year.
The Diamond Dust Tam is another quick knit. I used about 150 yards of a nice soft Aran/heavy-worsted weight merino for this one. It's not a super floppy tam, but big enough if you have curls to be able to work with those.
And a shot of the interesting cabling on the crown, which is awfully fun to knit up.
All for now.....
Love your projects! I'm all up for a quick tam knit!

Just a tad creative are we? I see there was less tongue in today's picture.

I love the crown of the tam! And the winter issue is wonderful! I finally took a bit of time to quickly peruse. I'm looking forward to spending more time with it next week :-)
