The boy is kind of walking!

Sometimes.

And he’s only 19 1/2 months!

I’ve been spinning up a wool/mohair blended roving the past few days. I have a little left to do, but four skeins are done and washed already. We cleared off the coat racks in our entryway for Thanksgiving guests to use, and I was happy to see them when wandering the house with four wet skeins Sunday night, looking for a place to dry them.

I’ll have to remember that. You’re only seeing two of the three racks. I could dry a lot of yarn there…

Anyway, I’m knitting a cabled scarf with it.

The colors are quite washed out in the photo, but it’s really pretty, and soft and squishy. I like it a lot.

I wish I had enough to knit a vest or something. If you recall, I railed quite passionately against vests a couple years ago, but I’ve changed my mind. Vests can be very cool. Hayden has shown me the light.

So, while I haven’t been much of a scarf knitter in the past, I’m suddenly turning my handspun into scarves. I need to try something else.

Now, I’m going to make turkey soup. And my post is incredibly boring. Can you hear the malaise? I’m done here.

    Hee, Clark is so cute there, i love the grin on his face.

    Also, the cabled scarf looks cool; can’t wait to see it!

    That scarf looks great! I have found the towel rack over the air vent in my bathroom is the best place to get dry yarn quickly. Of course it can only fit one skein.

    Clark is such a cutie! A blur of activity. Love your scarf! I made turkey & wild rice soup yesterday. Thank goodness the bird’s all gone!

    You wont be able to stop him now. He is so cute. I love your kitchen by the way, it looks so big and roomy and very stylish. I like the scarf, very nice. What a great place to dry your yarn too.

    I just showed Dan your website and he kept saying “wow, she’s good”. That’s a pretty big deal because he’s hard to impress. He’s glad that you experiment and we are both amazed at how much you accomplish. You go artist girl!
