what became of my nicely-made bed?!
I swear it was all pulled up, tucked in and pillows plumped.
Note the squeaky ball tucked under her armpit for safe-keeping.
She appears content, so that's all that matters!
Actual! Knitting! Content!!
The Regia 6--ply 2 x 2 scarf. Almost at the end of the second 50 g skein. I'm thinking a person could use a 150 g ball of 6-ply sock yarn and have enough for a great scarf - maybe a little wider than the 30 stitches and as long as you wanted. I really like how the 2 x 2 ribbing will be very cooshy when wrapping it around one's neck.
I will have to get a daylight pic of this - I couldn't get the yarn to show up in its true cinnamony/redwoody goodness. I've only just begun Starsky. While I was googling for Starsky knitters, I found Dave's blog. I know Dave from his Basketcase Socks pattern which is an awesome sock! And from Dave's blog I found the Starsky KAL group for reference in case I run into any problems; see other people's mods, etc. Cool.
In other online amblings, I found the tree sweater. Yeah, so I'm late to the party. [See reference above to just now starting to knit Starsky.] !!! I love it!
I noticed also Lisa and the pups are blogging again. Yay! There's been knitting and crocheting and kayaking and poochy smiles ... welcome back!
It was a cold, blustery rainy day here. After supper I took Sabrina out for a walk and she got to wear her new rain coat and it fits and works perfectly. Crowds of people stopped us and complimented her on it. Well, okay. ONE person did. Heh.
One more day of work (ugh) then the long weekend. Can't wait for 4 p.m. tomorrow. But for now, I knit.
