Up in a puff of smoke
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007I got up to the bust of Cherie Amour and, shocker, it was too big. My gauge swatch told a fib. It also might have been under a little stress so I won’t be too mad at it. I plan to try again later but best laid plans and all that, don’t be holding your breath.
Younger daughter asked for a couple of scarves. She wants them thick and looong. I could knit a million scarves until someone asks for one, then I can’t find a pattern that I think would work. She wants squishy, I want fun and lace and cables and color. I settled for the multi-directional scarf* in Patons SWS*. It’s too bad that 2 skeins does not make a long scarf. I’ll finish it anyway and find something else for her. For someone that has so much yarn in the stash, I’m having a terrible time finding something she’d like. She may get a long pink or lavender or blue or variegated lace scarf whether she likes it or not. Who wants to place bets that she’ll get a few scarves from Target? 
I still haven’t bought my plane tickets for SAFF. Part of the reason is that I still haven’t decided if I want to stop in Atlanta first. Tickets to Atlanta are cheaper but then there are additional hotel and rental car fees. If I fly straight to SAFF, it costs a little more but I don’t have to do any driving and I can get right to the hotel. If I haven’t made up my mind by Saturday, it’s going to be coin flipping time.
*It’s too late at night to link. If you really haven’t heard of these or want to know about them, Google is your friend.
