Contemplating Horses
First I would like to thank everybody for the birthday wishes. I rudely didn't reply to anybody cause I was a bit overwhelmed. Your comments and emails are greatly appreciated.
I am not quite back in the saddle yet when it comes to fibery goodness but I am contemplating the horse. About time too~ work is starting to pile up and I know, from experience, that if I get too much on my plate I make like an ostrich. I tend to keep my work stuff in boxes around my chair and there have been times when I couldn't even get to my chair! And when I did move this box on top of that box to get into chair my mind was so frazzled by the boxes I threw up my hands. Anyway enough of my poor organizational [and housekeeping] skills! Elka opened a box. Woo hoo. And what was in the box? A scarf. A finished! scarf. Needing only to be blocked and mailed. Done blocking and mailing. A picture of the FO:
This is a version of Myrna Stahman's Seaman's Scarf designed for K1C2. The neck ribbing:
The pattern was designed to bring attention to those harmed by Drunk Drivers and originally called for Richesse et Soie. K1C2 no longer carries this yarn but has a lovely new fingering weight called Ambrosia. It really is a wonderful yarn. I don't see the pattern on their website but it is called Kathy's Scarf{ I think } If anybody is anxious to order the pattern for themselves I will look up the official name and number.
Toodles and you know the drill~ yarny days and knitterly evening....
