LOVE this color, teal and brown. Forgot I had this yarn, but came across it the other day when cleaning out my office area (or at least partially). Decided the startitis I've had lately that I've been trying ignore just kicked in when I spotted this yarn. I wanted to use the multi-directional scarf pattern. You start with a triangle (what you see at the top where you see more brownish.........then when it's the size you need you start doing short rows (what you see on the bottom) and up to the ridge.......which is the join of the 2 triangles. You go back and forth. This pattern recommends using shaded, self striping yarn, or variegated yarn; but.......I found this yarn just didn't seem to change color frequently enough to see the changes in direction? Soooooooooo, after knitting several hours, I did the un-knitting. Will put this yarn aside and use for something else, as I really wanted to do this pattern.
Potato Chip Scarf has grown quite a bit since the last picture. It's now 38 inches. So am chipping away, snarky pun.
Have mentioned I don't decorate a lot and I don't start early; but I do love cocktail hour, cocktail napkins........and well this seemed a good place to start.
The snow-flake napkin holder is on top of the wine rack in the dining room..so decorating did begin about 10 days ago.
Before the cocktail napkins were switched out, a Manhattan and fancy nuts cocktail evening.
Then another night it was an Old Fashion and chips and guacamole night. We do enjoy our cocktail hours. We sit and talk without the tv on, tell each other about our days. Then we move onto dinner.
On the Old Fashion, Chips and Guacamole night, we had chicken enchilada's. First time I've made it, turned out yummy and will be repeated. Found black beans with jalepeno's and lime, very tasty. Definitely a repeat.
And leaving you with a bit of humor. I'm not a fan of winter so this had me nodding in agreement.
This seems to say a lot. Spotted this meme on Facebook a few days ago and thought it worth sharing.
I've never seen anything like this before and wondered if you all had? This was in an airport, though I'm not sure I remember which one....perhaps Portland or San Francisco, as I think it was from a Mother Daughter trip a few months back.
I've not worked on this project in awhile and should, but I'm contemplating, ripping it out to start over. Stay tuned.
No new picture on the yellow shawl, as it hasn't moved forward enough to look any different to you. It's really slow going.
It's crazy I know, but....I keep wanting to start something with this yarn. Do you suffer from start-itis? I have multiple projects going, but want to start another one.
This is close to being done, but I made a mistake that I couldn't fix, plus there's a spot where there was bad yarn.........argh....so I've put it away and am trying to decide whether to finish or rip it out. It was going to be a gift. The mistake is one I could probably ignore if I were wearing it myself...hide it by the way it was tied etc; but.............
Had a very busy week. My cousin from out of state came and I spend lots of time taking her places and to visit with Dad. Vertigo is much improved, thanks to all of you who've asked. Not gone, but much improved.
