I finished the Sursa scarf. It's a monster. Lots of ruffle. It will probably have to wait until next winter to be worn considering it is 80 degrees here. I started another pair of socks with Lorna's Lace sock yarn. This one is called black pearl. I will try to post some pictures later.
I also bought some more yarn last Friday. My LYS had some lovely Italian merino in a charcoal gray at a really nice price. It's lace weight, and I knew this when I bought it. I thought it would make a pretty lace shawl. I do not know what I was thinking when I did this. I tried to work with it this weekend. First, it did not want to be wound up into a ball. I had a heck of a time winding it. I should have known this was an omen. I finally got it wound. I had to break the yarn several times to accomplish this. So I decide to try the Yarn Harlot's snow drop shawl. There is no way this is going to happen. I can hardly see the yarn let alone the stitches. I will go blind if I try this. Maybe it was just my mood over the weekend, and I should try again, but I am going to wait a while before I do.

Dark yarn can be hard to see. Try working with it in daylight.
Good idea. Thanks.
