I knitted this scarf for my friend Emily's birthday using the Caterpillar yarn pictured in a post below

Just a simple garter stitch scarf with fringe at the ends.

Here is my photo diary of my taking a pile of dirty wool and turning it into a coin purse.

First the pile:

Nothing too exciting, just some Finn that came in a big lot of raw fleece I bought from a seller off ebay.
