Also roast them with peppers and other veg in olive oil. <br /><br />Hope you post a picture of your scarf when it's finished. The wool is a lovely colour. <br /><br />Best wishes from Carol Molly Printempshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677983247237875712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845295504148794874.post-77068323491078756362014-07-15T20:36:57.884+01:002014-07-15T20:36:57.884+01:00Btw if you're ever stuck for a good pattern tr...Btw if you're ever stuck for a good pattern try www.ravelry.com it's an online knitting and crochet community.
