Swatching as I go


I still have 3.35 ounces of fiber to spin, ply, and skein, but I decided to go ahead and start the Morning Surf Scarf from Spin-Off Magazine. I don't think I'm going to have enough homespun yarn to make a scarf the length I'd like, so I may look for more fiber at the Fall Fiber Festival, or I may end up using commercially produced yarn, or perhaps I'll knit a combination of the two in order to get the length I want.
