If only I had a Welsh accent, ...

... I could say what's going round in my head in the moment - which is a Welsh voice (probably Rhys off of Torchwood) saying 'I love it!' And that would be in response to my new scarf, Ethnic Leaves, which was made from a pattern by Kathy Merrick.

This scarf is lovely to crochet - being fun and quirky, yet quick to do - but it's also gorgeous when it's finished. And it's also my first foray into sock yarn, which I've been dying to try because of all the fab colourways that are available. AND this is a new material, since the yarn - Regia sock yarn - is 45% bamboo! So, firsts all round for me today (including a massive forearm cramp - ouch...) but still, I'm bobbersome with the results...

(BTW: bobbersome = elated; full of joy. It's a Forgotten English Word, according to my page-a-day calendar of the things... Along with 'poosk'. Don't ask about that one...)
