Waves of Grain Scarf on Flickr – Photo Sharing!.
Here is my Waves of Grain scarf all finished!
I used size 7 Harmony interchangable needles, 54grams of Misti Alpaca Handpaint Lace yarn.
I decided I didn’t care about blocking it hard since I wanted to wear it all squishy & wrapped around my neck multiple times.
Even though I complained constantly & had no motivation to work on it I am pleased with how it turned out. It will get a lot of use.

Believe it or not I am actually around, knitting, crocheting & just keeping busy.
I finished this Reclamation Scarf by Stephanie Japel last week & love how it turned out.
I used 32grams of 100purewool fingering weight merino in Capricious on size 5 needles. It is soft. It is stretchy. It is lovely!

Well we won’t be keeping Jazzy after all.
We have found that her separation anxiety when we leave her is extreme to the point that she’s not controllable. She broke out of the house and hurt a neighbors cat so badly that she had to be put down.
Luckily we are good friends with the neighbors and have worked it out but decided that the anxiety Jazzy brings to the neighborhood is not going to go away.
It makes us sad but she is not the only dog out there for adoption. We’ll get ourselves together in a little while & start the search again.

Kids, husbands, dogs (on leash) welcome!

world wide knit in public.
Welcome Jazz, or Jazzy, to the Andreasen Family!
She is a 2.5yo French Waterdog, or American Barbet.
It’s taken us a long time to make the decision to get a dog but we finally did it & I am so pleased with who we found!
She came from a family that just couldn’t have 2 dogs anymore so they decided to give up one. To our benefit, may I add.
She’s a love. She let’s the kids roll on her, use her as a pillow, pull on her collar, boss her around. It’s great!
She likes her leash, likes walks & as I found out this morning, truly is a waterdog & Loves the beach!
I love this blanket! Brilliantly easy & so cheery! Just what I need though, another blanket to never finish ;o)

31 knit & crochet unfinished projects on Flickr – Photo Sharing!.
I must confess.
I have 33 projects on needles. I really didn’t think it was that bad! I thought I might be in the 20 range but over 30?? I don’t think I have ever had that many!!
Tonight I will frog some, arrange by priority the ones that need to be worked on & shelf others to wait for later.
wow. I amaze myself.
