Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

…to bring you a multidirectional scarf. Have you ever intended to knit a swatch and it turned into a project? It just happened. I was so excited to swatch the Fleece Kid from Fleece Artist and I just couldn’t stop. Oh boy is it beautiful. I’m using 5mm (US8) needles which is comforting as I was expecting to use teensy tinsy ones after discovering the yarn was two ply instead of the four ply I was expecting. It is so soft and rich with colour and the pattern is high on the "just one more row" factor. This is my new favourite scarf pattern:

With two out of three kids back at school it was time to take Gracee to the groomer. They prefer the shaggy Grace to the groomed one. What do you think? I think I have to learn how to fix ‘blue eye" in dog photos.

    Gracie looks fabulous either way.
    How is you foot and your hand when you hurt yourself on the wine glass? Are your cuts healing okay?
    Your scarf would look pretty as a winter necklace as is, with a ribbon or leather tiestrap and tiny crystals interwoven on it.

    Gracie is gorgeous both ways, but I admit I have a fondness for the tousled look. I, too, am hooked on the multidirectional scarf…I’ve done 3 in the last 3 weeks. I love the response of people trying to figure out how it works!
